Identification of Proteins in Promastigote and Amastigote-like Leishmania Using an Immunoproteomic Approach

Abstract

The present study represents a significant contribution not only in identifying stage-specific L. infantum molecules, but also in revealing the expression of a large number of hypothetical proteins. Moreover, when combined, the identified proteins constitute a significant source of information for the improvement of diagnostic tools and/or vaccine development to VL.
