Subject: L. major WHO strain MHOM/IR/-/173<br><br>
Our research team is presently working on Leishmania genomics. One strain
of <i>L. major</i> that we use in our lab is referenced to as World
Health Organization strain MHOM/IR/-/173 in the litterature. I need
information concerning this strain, i.e.: origin (I guess human,
but what kind of lesion and what type of prelevement ?),
clinical details, date of collection (seems undetermined), isoenzymatic
profile ... <br><br>
I have presently just subscribed for joining the leish-l discussion
group, and I am waiting for confirmation. However, perhaps it is possible
for you to give me already any detail about this strain or indications to
how/where I coud find them. <br><br>
Thank you very much in advance for your help. <br>
With best regards <br>
