An induced population of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes more resistant to complement lysis promotes a phenotype with greater differentiation, invasiveness, and release of extracel... by Rossi, Izadora, Nunes, Maria Alice Ferreira, Sabatke, Bruna, Ribas, Hennrique Taborda, Winnischofer, Sheila Maria Brochado, Ramos, Augusto Savio Peixoto, Inal, Jameel, Ramirez, Marcel I.

“…This 2R population was characterized in several aspects and compared to Wild type population. The 2R population had a favored metacyclogenesis compared with wild-type (WT) parasites. 2R metacyclic trypomastigotes had a two-fold increase in resistance to complementmediated lysis and were at least three times more infective to eukaryotic cells, probably due to a higher GP82 expression in the resistant population. …”
