Molecular dialogue between host and parasite
Parasite destabilize environment to survive inside tse tse fly by secreted protein (secretome)
Circulating inside tse tse fly (midgut, gut)
During a host blood meal infected by trypanosoma
Parasite’s strategy
Approach
Identified secretome’s protein contained in vesicule
Selected proteins and study them as therapeutic and/or diagnostic target
Translationally Controled Tumour Protein (TCTP)
Histidine
GST TCTP
Check list from secretome’s protein
Produced in baculovirus system Purified by affinity colunm
