Characterization of Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis membrane microdomains, and their role in macrophage infectivity

Detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) from Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis promastigotes, insoluble in 1% Triton X-100 at 4°C, were fractionated by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. They were composed of glycoinositolphospholipids (GIPLs), inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC), phosphatidyl...
