Bloodstream forms (BSF) and procyclic culture forms (PCF) of African trypanosomes were incubated with a variety of lectins in vitro. Cessation of cell division and profound morphological changes were seen in procyclic forms but not in BSF after incubation with concanvavalin A (Con A). Wheat germ...

Procyclic Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense have a cell death mechanism which can be activated by an external signal, the lectin ConA, in vitro. ConA has been shown to cause profound changes in cellular morphology and induce fragmentation of nuclear DNA in T.b. rhodesiense which are characteristic o...

A study was carried out to determine whether a drug-resistant trypanosome population could influence the survival of a drug-sensitive population in mixed infections in goats. To identify both populations during the course of a mixed infection, a system for distinguishing them was developed; using...

Cyclophilin A from the bovine parasite Trypanosoma brucei brucei has been cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized in the presence of cyclosporin A using ammonium sulfate as a precipitant. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic crystal system with unit-cell dimensions of ...
