Abstract

To understand the interplay of lipids between Leishmania promastigotes, amastigotes, and vertebrate host cells, a robust method for cultivating Leishmania parasites, lipid extraction, and shotgun lipidomic analysis with loop injection is described. This book chapter provides the step-by-step workflow to guide readers from sample preparation to the global lipid analysis by multiple stage mass spectrometry with high resolution and tandem quadrupole mass spectrometric approaches toward studying the metabolomic roles that lipids may play in Leishmania parasite infections.
