Cell-mediated reactivity against human and Trypanosoma cruzi antigens according to clinical status in Chagas' disease patients

The presence of cellular reactivity against homologous tissues and subcellular fractions of Trypanosoma cruzi was investigated in Chagas' disease patients (CDP). CDP were grouped in asymptomatic (CDP-1) and with probable (CDP-2) and overt (CDP-3) cardiomyopathy. Healthy and non-Chagasic cardiom...
