Abstract in English
The parasitic antigens are of great interest in immune responses and in the
strategies for developing vaccines. The aim of this study was to identify the
major antigens which are expressed in the two leishmania tropica stages,
promastigote & amastigote, employing the western blot analysis using the sera
collected from mice immunized with the above mentioned parasite stages' total
protein.
