Antisense RNA decreases AP33 gene expression and cytoadherence by T. vaginalis
3 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Host parasitism by Trichomonas vaginalis is complex. Adherence to vaginal epithelial cells (VECs) is mediated by surface proteins. We showed before that antisense down-regulation of expression of adhesin AP65 decreased amounts of protein, which lowered levels of T. vaginalis adherence to VECs. We now perform antisense down-regulation of expression of the ap33 gene to evaluate and confirm a role for...
