Abstract
⺠L. braziliensis infection induced a significant increase in gelatinolytic activity of MMP-9 secreted by cultured human macrophages. ⺠L. braziliensis did not secrete MMP-9. ⺠Macrophages from ML group showed higher levels of MMP-9 activity compared to LCL. ⺠Differential MMP-9 activity is due to MMP-9 extracellular activation.
