Abstract
We concluded that the enzymes on the surface of T. cruzi trypomastigotes can not only affect PLAP's enzyme activity but also increase the IgG binding ability of the placenta and this can be related to the actions of neuraminidase-transsialidase, phospholipase A2 and phospholipase C on the parasite surface. The modification of PLAP from women with Chagas' disease should be considered as a result of multiple factors.
