Functional comparison of mouse CIRE/mouse DC-SIGN and human DC-SIGN (2006)

Caminschi, Irina, Corbett, Alexandra J, Zahra, Corina, Lahoud, Mireille, Lucas, Karen M, Sofi, Mariam, ...

CIRE/mDC-SIGN is a C-type lectin we originally identified as a molecule differentially expressed by mouse dendritic cell (DC) populations. Immunostaining with a CIRE/mDC-SIGN-specific mAb revealed...

Genetics of murine leishmaniasis (2005)

Foote, Simon J., Handman, Emanuela

Leishmaniasis encompasses a number of disease syndromes, caused by several species of the digenetic protozoan Leishmania, and is transmitted by sandflies. The mouse model of the disease has been used...

Biosynthesis of lipophosphoglycan from Leishmania major: characterization of ({beta}1-3)-galactosyltransferase(s) (1994)

Ng, Ken, Handman, Emanuela, Bacic, Antony

Lipophosphoglycan (LPG) is the major cell surface molecule of promastigotes of all Leishmania species. It is comprised of three domains: a conserved GPI anchor linked to a repeating phosphorylated...

Intravenous injection of irradiated Leishmania major into susceptible BALB/c mice: immunization or protective tolerance (1994)

Aebischer, Toni, Morris, Lynn, Handman, Emanuela

It is well established that BALB/c mice can be protected from fatal infection with Leishmania major by prophylactic intravenous (i.v.) immunization with irradiated parasites. Protection is...

Resistance of BALB/c mice to Leishmania major infection is associated with a decrease in the precursor frequency of antigen-specific CD4+ cells secreting interleukin-4 (1993)

Morris, Lynn, Aebischer, Toni, Handman, Emanuela, Kelso, Anne, MacDonald, H. R.

BALB/c mice are highly susceptible to infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania major and develop a chronic fatal disease. They can, however, be manipulated to resist disease and this has...

Structure and antigenicity of the lipophosphoglycan from Leishmania major amastigotes (1991)

Moody, Susan F., Handman, Emanuela, Bacic, Antony

The lipophosphoglycan (LPG) of the intracellular amastigote form of the protozoan parasite Leishmania major is chemically distinct from the LPG on the surface of the extracellular promastigote form....

Structural and Functional Association of Trypanosoma brucei MIX Protein with Cytochrome c Oxidase Complex ▿ †

Zíková, Alena, Panigrahi, Aswini K., Uboldi, Alessandro D., Dalley, Rachel A., Handman, Emanuela, Stuart, Kenneth

A mitochondrial inner membrane protein, designated MIX, seems to be essential for cell viability. The deletion of both alleles was not possible, and the deletion of a single allele led to a loss of...
