  • Title: The biogenesis and properties of the parasitophorous vacuoles that harbour Leishmania in murine macrophages.
    Author: Antoine JC, Prina E, Lang T, Courret N.
    Journal: Trends Microbiol; 1998 Oct; 6(10):392-401. PubMed ID: 9807783.
    Abstract:
    Leishmania are protozoan parasites that, as amastigotes, live in the macrophages of mammalian hosts within compartments called parasitophorous vacuoles. These organelles share features with late endosomes/lysosomes and are also involved in the trafficking of several major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded molecules. Improved knowledge of the parasitophorous vacuoles may help clarify how these protozoa persist in their hosts.
