Acute infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas' disease, is accompanied by multiple manifestations of immunosuppression, and this parasite has been shown to inhibit T and B lymphocyte functions in vitro through a mechanism involving impa

Acute infection with Trypanosoma cruzi or its African relatives, including T. brucei rhodesiense, T. b. gambiense, T. b. brucei and T. congolense, is frequently accompanied by manifestations of immunological dysfunction. Initially investigators catal

We studied the effects of two N,N'-bis(benzyl)-substituted polyamine analogs on the capacities of Trypanosoma cruzi to invade and multiply within a mammalian host cell. At concentrations as low as 1 microM, these compounds reduced significantly the i

We studied the effects of Trypanosoma cruzi secretion products on the capacity of helper (Th) and cytotoxic (Tc) cells to express IL-2R, CD3, CD4, and CD8 in response to PHA or anti-CD3 stimulation. To this end, we used a culture system in which bloo

The Trypanosoma cruzi membrane glycoprotein AGC10 has been shown to alter some human macrophage functions (De Diego, J. L. et al., J. Immunol. 1997. 159: 4983-4989). We show here that, in the presence of AGC10, [3H]thymidine incorporation by normal h

The intracellular levels of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-5 and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) produced by mitogen-stimulated normal human blood lymphocytes were found to be markedly reduced in cultures containing purified Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigo

A substantial proportion of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) manifested a decreased capacity to express membrane interferon-gamma receptors (IFN-gamma R) when co-cultured with Trypanosoma cruzi. Among the lymphocytes, B cells accounted

There has been disagreement about the ability of exogenous interleukin-2 (IL-2) to restore responsiveness to lymphocytes from either Trypanosoma cruzi-infected animals or normal individuals co-cultured with this parasite. The discrepancy has been att

The mechanisms by which Trypanosoma cruzi causes dysfunction in normal human lymphocytes was studied by using an in vitro system in which purified parasites and normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells are co-cultured in the presence or absence of m

DL-alpha-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), a specific, irreversible inhibitor of arginine decarboxylase (ADC), decreases the capacity of Trypanosoma cruzi to invade and multiply within different types of mammalian host cells in vitro. In this work we fo
