abstract：:Trypanosoma cruzi proteinases are very likely involved in host-cell invasion. Physiological plasma-proteinase inhibitors from the macroglobulin (MG) family, among them alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M), are found in tissues and in the plasma of mammals. By complexing to all classes of proteinases, MGs inhibit their action o...
