Pierwsze badania peroksydoksyn - nowej rodziny antyoksydantow u pasozytow

The data from the first investigatiom of a new antioxidants family – peroxidoxins - in parasites. The properties and mechanism of action of a new family of antioxidants-peroxidoxins have been described. The properties of parasitic peroxidoxins in some helminths and protozoans discovered as a result of genom sequencing and expressed sequence tag (EST) project have been presented. The data described untill now from a number of studies with parasites indicate that the family of peroxidoxins, very important for the host-parasite interactions may be in future a potential candidate vaccine molecules in some systems.
