The sera from individuals suffering from cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania braziliensis present antibodies against parasitic conserved proteins, but not their human counterparts
Sera from individuals suffering from leishmaniasis have been shown to strongly react against conserved proteins from the parasite, such as ribosomal, histones and heat-shock proteins. Some of these proteins have also been described as immunogenic in several auto-immune syndromes, and the detection o...
