Characterisation of the transcriptomes of Leishmania mexicana promastigotes and amastigotes
- Abstract:
-
Leishmania spp. undergo substantial adaptations from being promastigotes, found in sandflies, to being amastigotes, residing in parasitophorous vacuoles within mammalian macrophages. In the past, microarray studies have sought to elucidate these adaptations using axenic amastigote systems or amastigotes purified from host-cells, raising the question whether the observed transcriptomic signatures were a true reflection of intracellular amastigotes. Moreover, with ever-improving gen...
