Identification of soluble and membrane antigenic markers of acquired toxoplasmosis by immunoblot.

abstract：:Male B10 X 129 (10M) ScSn mice were relatively resistant to cutaneous leishmaniasis, while females frequently developed non-healing expanding ulcers, leading to loss of infected extremities, metastasis to distal skin sites, and in some animals, death. Anti-leishmanial antibody titers were higher, and delayed-type hype...
