Aquaglyceroporin1 gene expression in antimony resistance and susceptible Leishmania major isolates

Background & objectives: The mechanism of antimony resistance in Leishmania has been studied extensively, in connection with decreased influx and/or increased eflux of the drug. Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) protein has been shown to mediate the uptake of trivalent antimony. This study was aimed to find th...
