Megaesophagus is a less common but also important manifestation of Chagas' disease ,.
And because phages are large particles, they remain confined to the circulatory system mimicking the conditions to which T.
Vimentin and cytokeratin are present on the cell surface.
Intermediate filaments are important components of the cytoskeleton, present in nearly every eukaryotic cell.
But whether these proteins also contribute to tissue homing had not yet been investigated.
The infective trypomastigote form is transmitted to humans and other vertebrate hosts by blood-sucking insects or blood transfusion, and recently recognized, by ingestion of infected triatomine contaminated food.
Description: Cytokeratins and vimentin are exposed on some endothelial cells Cytokeratins and vimentin are usually recognized as intracellular components of the cytoskeleton, although previous studies have demonstrated the presence of vimentin and cytokeratins on the surface of vascular cells and cardiomyocytes.
