< i > Trypanosoma cruzi < /i > 80 kDa prolyl oligopeptidase (Tc80) as a novel immunogen for Chagas disease vaccine

Conclusions/SignificanceConsidering that an early control of parasite burden and tissue damage might contribute to avoid the progression towards symptomatic forms of chronic Chagas disease, the efficacy of Tc80-based vaccines make this molecule a promising immunogen for a mono or multicomponent vaccine againstT.cruzi infection.
