Intraspecies Polymorphisms in the Lipophosphoglycan of L. braziliensis Differentially Modulate Macrophage Activation via TLR4

In conclusion, different isolates of L. braziliensis from different clinical forms and hosts can induce different responses in cells of the vertebrate host and this could be a result of LPG polymorphisms.
