Project description:Monastrol treatment of Leishmania donovani infected macrophages Macrophages were infected with Leishmania donovani and treated with monastrol to look for signalling molecules
Project description:The mRNA expression of antimony resistant strains of Leishmania donovani was compared to the expression of the sensitive Leishmania donovani.
Project description:The mRNA expression of antimony resistant strains of Leishmania donovani was compared to the expression of the sensitive Leishmania donovani. The antimony resistant and sensitive Leishmania donovani were grown in complete M199 medium with 10% FCS and Penicillin streptomycin mixture. At stationary phase (5 day culture) cells were harvested in sterile Phosphate buffered saline and used for RNA isolation.
Project description:In this study, we examined the transcriptome of Leishmania donovani promastigotes and axenic amastigotes to identify differentially regulated mRNAs utilizing the serial analysis of gene expression Keywords: stage differentiation; axenic amastigotes
Project description:Differential gene expression analysis was carried out in clinical isolates of Leishmania donovani (L. donovani) parasite derived from VL patient before miltefosine treatment, post treatment and patient that relpased after miltefosine treatment
Project description:Murine bone marrow derived macrophages were infected with Leishmania major or Leishmania donovania promastigotes, allowed to phagocytose latex beads or not treated. Gene expression profiles were compared to identify i) the effect of Leishmania infection; ii) the differences in effects between L. major and L. donovani; and iii) the effect of pahgocytosis of latex beads.
