Preliminary evaluation of a Trypanosoma brucei FG-GAP repeat containing protein of mitochondrial localization

2019-11-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Trypanosoma brucei , a causative agent of African Trypanosomiasis, is known to cross the blood brain barrier during the second stage of the disease. It was previously suggested that this parasite crosses the blood brain barrier in a manner similar to that of lymphocytes. This would imply that trypanosomes possess integrins that are required to interact with adhesion molecules located on the b...
