Abstract There are few studies on cell-mediated cytotoxicity in human Chagas' disease. In the present study, we evaluated peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) activity from chagasic patients with different clinical forms of To verify cytotoxic response, performed lysis assays using 51Cr-labelled K562 cells as targets. Results reported lytic units (LU=number required for 30% lysis) per million PBMC. Exposure patients’ PBMC to Trypanosoma cruzi antigen led an increase compared unstimulated...
