Daño Inflamatorio y Cambios Cariométricos en Tejido Cardiaco de Ratones Experimentalmente Infectados con Trypanosoma cruzi

Abstract: RESUMENEn el presente trabajo se evaluaron las alteraciones cariométricas causadas por la infección con la cepa Munantá, la cepa Tulahuén y el clon Dm28c de Trypanosoma cruzi en el tejido cardiaco de ratones ACA experimentalmente infectados con 2000 tripomastigotes sanguíneos del parásito y su relación con el daño inflamatorio, número de seudoquistes y posible asociación con los niveles de parasitemia y mortalidad acumulada. Los resultados mostraron un aumento significativo del tamaño nuclear en el tejido card… Show more

“…Given the high anti-αGal responses (Fig 1B PLOS NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES dramatically improved; because of the lower parasite dose, approximately 60% of the control animals survived, compared to 100% of the immunized groups. Since heart damage is a hallmark of T. cruzi parasite infection, heart tissue from all animals was examined and scored for signs of degeneration, inflammation, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and parasite lesions [39][40][41]. While degenerative damage was observed in all animals in the acute phase, this was completely resolved for the immunized animals, in contrast to the control group (Fig 2C).…”
