LEISHMANIA HISTONES H2A, H2B, H3 AND H4 FOR THE TREATMENT OF LEISHMANIASIS DISEASE

摘要

The present invention relates to use of any of the histone proteins H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 for the treatment, diagnosis or prevention of a parasitic disease. Preferably, all four histones are used in combination. If only one histone is used, preferably histone H4 is used. The great advantage of the present invention is that parasitic disease caused by one species may be treated using histones from another species.
