Abstract excerpt

The Gal/GalNAc lectin gene of Entamoeba histolytica is a major amebic virulence protein responsible for interaction with host tissues. We investigated sequence differences in the Gal/GalNAc lectin heavy subunit in three isolates from Bangladesh and one isolate from Georgia, each of which was determined to be genetically distinct by SREHP AluI digestion. Interestingly, we observed only slight genetic diversity in...
