TcONTROL

Antigen-specific immunological biomarkers associated to control of infection by T. cruzi.

Los objetivos principales son:

  • Determinar en pacientes crónicos de Chagas el impacto del tratamiento con benznidazol en el perfil inmunológico (fenotípico y funcional) de las poblaciones linfocitarias T. El estudio se centrará en aquellos marcadores que se encuentren modificados según el grado de severidad de la patología de Chagas.
  • Caracterizar en un modelo de infección natural las modificaciones inducidas por el embarazo en el perfil inmunológico de linfocitos T CD4+ y CD8+, a nivel funcional y de expresión de receptores inhibitorios.
  • Analizar, utilizando un modelo murino de infección experimental, la respuesta inmunológica de células T  (CD4 y CD8)  potencialmente asociada al control de la infección por T. cruzi.
