Passive transfer of a monoclonal antibody specific for a sialic acid-dependent epitope on the surface of Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes reduces infection in mice.

Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas' disease, proliferates in the cytosol of mammalian cells. When the trypomastigote forms exit the infected cell, they become extensively sialylated because the parasite contains an enzyme called trans-sialidase. This enzyme efficiently catalyzes...
