Abstract
Use of synthetic peptides derived fromantigens and their use in vaccination against trypomastigote infection and Chagas disease.uses several surface proteins to invade the host. In their role of protection, the surface protients ensure the targeting and invasion of specific cells or tissues. A conserved region in the family of mucin-associated surface proteins (MASP) was used to analyze the expression of MASP at different points of invasion and proved to be important for host cell invasion, thus suggesting MASP as a candidate for vaccine development. A synthetic peptide, MASPsyn, was studied and showed efficacy in stimulating antibody and cytokine production necessary for resistance against the parasite.
