ABSTRACT
Here we studied the telomerase activity of the human parasite Leishmania major. In this organism we have detected a high activity of this enzyme once several parameters such as heat activation, sequence of extension primer, and protein concentration are adjusted. The activity was not only heat activated, but also very resistant to heat denaturation. We believe L. major telomerase is an important activity and it may provide an adequate drug therapy target.
