| expression and characterization of a recombinant kinesin antigen from an old indian strain (dd8) of leishmania donovani and comparing it with a commercially available antigen from a newly isolated (ke16) strain of l. donovani. | recently we had prepared a recombinant antigen (ld-rke16) from a newly isolated indian strain of leishmania donovani (mhom/in/ke16/1998) with high sensitivity and specificity and the same has been commercialized. while comparing the sequence data of kinesin gene of this (ke16) strain and its expressed protein with another commercially available recombinant antigen (lc-rk39) from kinesin gene of l. chagasi we found significant genetic and amino acid variations. this prompted us to undertake the p ... | 2008 | 18374635 |
