Figure 3From: Leishmania infantum HSP70-II null mutant as candidate vaccine against leishmaniasis: a preliminary evaluationInfectivity of ĪHSP70-II promastigotes in immunocompromised SCID mice. Groups (n = 4) of SCID mice were inoculated with 1 Ć 107 ĪHSP70-II promastigotes and the parasite burdens were determined in spleen and liver after 1 or 2 months post-infection. As control, a group (n = 4) of BALB/c was similarly infected, and the parasite burdens were determined 1 month post-infection.Back to article page
