Effect of glycosphingolipids purified from Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis amastigotes on human peripheral lymphocytes.
The effect of purified glycosphingolipids from Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis on human lymphoproliferation, on expression of human lymphocyte and monocyte markers (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD19, and CD45), and on lymphocyte protein kinase C activity was analyzed.
