Blastocystis exhibits inter- and intra-subtype variation in cysteine protease activity.

Parasitology research - 1 Jan 2009

Mirza Haris, Tan Kevin S W

Abstract excerpt

Blastocystis is an enteric protistan parasite of zoonotic potential and poorly understood pathogenesis. We have previously reported that Blastocystis cysteine proteases can degrade human secretory IgA and are also responsible for the induction of IL-8 response in colonic epithelial cells in vitro. Differences in virulence between Blastocystis subtypes have been reported recently in both animal models and clinical...
