Neospora caninum Microneme Protein NcMIC3: Secretion, Subcellular Localization, and Functional Involvement in Host Cell Interaction
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
In apicomplexan parasites, host cell adhesion and subsequent invasion involve the sequential release of molecules originating from secretory organelles named micronemes, rhoptries, and dense granules. Microneme proteins have been shown to be released at the onset of the initial contact between the parasite and the host cell and thus mediate and establish the physical interaction between the parasite and the host...
