Myosin II and the Gal-GalNAc lectin play a crucial role in tissue invasion by Entamoeba histolytica

6 Jul 2004

Abstract excerpt

Entamoeba histolytica is the human parasite responsible of amoebiasis, during which highly motile trophozoites invade the intestinal epithelium leading to amoebic colitis, and disseminate via the blood circulation causing liver abscesses. The invasive process, central to the pathogenesis, is known to be driven by parasites motility. To investigate molecules responsible for in vivo motion, we performed a high...
