Cloning and expression of a membrane antigen of Entamoeba histolytica possessing multiple tandem repeats.
1 Jul 1990
Abstract excerpt
Entamoeba histolytica causes amebic dysentery and amebic liver abscess, major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. We have used differential hybridization screening to isolate an E. histolytica-specific cDNA clone. The cDNA was found to encode a serine-rich E. histolytica protein (SREHP) containing multiple tandem repeats. The structural motif of SREHP resembles some of the repetitive antigens of malarial...
