Immuno and cytochemical localization of Trypanosoma cruzi nitric oxide synthase

The localization and subcellular distribution of Trypanosoma cruzi nitric oxide synthase was investigated in epimastigote cells by immunocytochemistry at electron and light microscope level, using a polyclonal antibody to neuronal nitric oxide synthase, and also, at light microscope level, by the ni...
