摘要: Background LiHyV is an antigenic hypothetical protein present in both promastigote and amastigote stages of Leishmania infantum, which was recently identified by immunoproteomic approach. A recombinant version this (rLiHyV) evaluated as a diagnostic marker for canine VL (CVL). In addition, the prophylactic efficacy rLiHyV protein, two its CD8+ T cell epitopes, has been analyzed murine model visceral leishmaniasis (VL).
