Palavras-chave: | Trypanosoma cruzi;Enfermedad de Chagas;Endopeptidasas;Péptido Hidrolasas | Data do documento: | 1-Jul-2010 | Editora: | Oxford University Press | Jornal: | The Journal of infectious diseases | Resumo: | Despite the strong immune responses elicited after natural infection with Trypanosoma cruzi or vaccination against it, parasite survival suggests that these responses are insufficient or inherently inadequate. T. cruzi contains a major cystein proteinase, cruzipain, which has a catalytic N-terminal domain and a C-terminal extension. Immunizations that employed recombinant cruzipain or its N- and C-terminal domains allowed evaluation of the ability of cruzipain to circumvent responses against the catalytic domain. This phenomenon is not a property of the parasite but of cruzipain itself, because recombinant cruzipain triggers a response similar to that of cruzipain during natural or experimental infection. Cruzipain is not the only antigen with a highly immunogenic region of unknown function that somehow protects an essential domain for parasite survival. However, our studies show that this can be reverted by using the N- terminal domain as a tailored immunogen able to redirect host responses to provide enhanced protection. |
