Detection of a serine proteinase gene in Acanthamoeba genotype T6 (Amoebozoa: Lobosea).

Experimental parasitology - 1 Sept 2006

Blaschitz Marion, Köhsler Martina, Aspöck Horst, Walochnik Julia

Abstract excerpt

Cytopathic proteins are assumed to contribute to the pathogenicity of Acanthamoeba spp. due to their degrading capacity that is required for tissue invasion. In this study, a serine proteinase gene was demonstrated in a highly virulent Acanthamoeba keratitis causing strain with genotype T6. This gene was detected in both, the genomic DNA and the cDNA by PCR and subsequent sequencing. The gene fragment comprises...
