The flagellar attachment zone of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote forms
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-04-01)The flagellar attachment zone (FAZ) is an adhesion region of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote forms where the flagellum emerges from the flagellar pocket and remains attached to the cell body. This region shows a junctional ...

Immunolocalization of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis membrane antigens recognized by mAbs SST-2, SST-3, and SST-4
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2003-11-01)The immunolocalization of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis stage-specific antigens recognized by mAbs was analysed by transmission electron microscopy. the antigen recognized by mAb SST-2 was present at the surface of ...

In vivo and in vitro phosphorylation and subcellular localization of trypanosomatid cytoskeletal giant proteins
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2000-09-01)Promastigote forms of Phytomonas serpens, Leptomonas samueli, and Leishmania tarentolae express cytoskeletal giant proteins with apparent molecular masses of 3,500 kDa (Ps 3500), 2,500 kDa (Ls 2500), and 1,200 kDa (Lt ...

Morphological events during the Trypanosoma cruzi cell cycle
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-04-01)The replication and segregation of organelles producing two identical daughter cells must be precisely controlled during the cell cycle progression of eukaryotes. in kinetoplastid flagellated protozoa, this includes the ...

Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) cleavage of GPI-anchored surface molecules of Trypanosoma cruzi triggers in vitro morphological reorganization of trypomastigotes
(Soc Protozoologists, 2001-01-01)Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes treated with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) in vitro are rapidly induced to differentiate into round forms. Using confocal microscopy, we were able to show that ...

Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of Trypanosoma cruzi Epimastigotes and Organelle Distribution Along the Cell Division Cycle
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-07-01)Trypanosoma cruzi is the protozoan that causes Chagas disease. It divides in the insect vector gut or in the cytosol of an infected mammalian cell. T cruzi has one mitochondrion, one Golgi complex, one flagellum, and one ...
