Target Oriented Drugs against Leishmania
Abstract
Our first annual report has demonstrated the presence of very high galactose content in EF, a property that could be shared also by the surface carbohydrates of the parasite. EF has immunological properties similar to those of the intact parasite and may play a role in the infective process. After it was shown to be species-specific, EF became the basis for serotyping Leishmania strains, and is a valuable tool in diagnostic, demographic and ecological studies of the disease. The diagnostic methodology, however, is generally insufficient and the development of a reliable radioimmunoassay (RIA) seems most valuable.
