Multiple Overlapping Epitopes in the Repetitive Unit of the Shed Acute-Phase Antigen from Trypanosoma cruzi Enhance Its Immunogenic Properties

Alvarez, Paula, Leguizamón, M. Susana, Buscaglia, Carlos A., Pitcovsky, Tamara A., Campetella, Oscar

The repetitive shed acute-phase antigen (SAPA) from Trypanosoma cruzi was thoroughly mapped by SPOT peptides and phage display strategies, showing that a single SAPA repeat is composed of multiple...

Sites of Interaction between Aldolase and Thrombospondin-related Anonymous Protein in Plasmodium

Buscaglia, Carlos A., Coppens, Isabelle, Hol, Wim G. J., Nussenzweig, Victor

Gliding motility and host cell invasion by apicomplexan parasites are empowered by an acto-myosin motor located underneath the parasite plasma membrane. The motor is connected to host cell receptors...

Aldolase provides an unusual binding site for thrombospondin-related anonymous protein in the invasion machinery of the malaria parasite

Bosch, Jürgen, Buscaglia, Carlos A., Krumm, Brian, Ingason, Bjarni P., Lucas, Robert, Roach, Claudia, ...

An actomyosin motor located underneath the plasma membrane drives motility and host-cell invasion of apicomplexan parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, the causative agents of...

A Trypanosoma cruzi Small Surface Molecule Provides the First Immunological Evidence that Chagas' Disease Is Due to a Single Parasite Lineage

Di Noia, Javier M., Buscaglia, Carlos A., De Marchi, Claudia R., Almeida, Igor C., Frasch, Alberto C.C.

Chagas' disease is a major health and economic problem caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. Multiple independently evolving clones define a complex parasite population that can be arranged into...
