Molecular basis of host epithelial cell recognition by <i>Trichomonas vaginalis</i>
1 Apr 1992
Abstract excerpt
Parasitism of host epithelial cells by Trichomonas vaginalis is a highly specific event. Four trichomonad surface proteins (adhesins) with molecular masses of 65,000 daltons (65 kDa; AP65), 51 kDa (AP51), 33 kDa (AP33), and 23 kDa (AP23) mediate the interaction of T. vaginalis with epithelial cells. Fresh isolates, when compared with long-term-grown isolates, had greater amounts of adhesins, which corresponded...
