Isolation of a strain-specific Entamoeba histolytica cDNA clone
1 Apr 1991
Abstract excerpt
Entamoeba histolytica is an intestinal parasite causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. More tools are needed to understand the epidemiology and molecular pathogenesis of amebiasis. A cDNA library was constructed by using poly(A)+ RNA isolated from an axenic strain of E. histolytica, HM1:IMSS, which expresses a pathogenic isoenzyme pattern (zymodeme). Differential screening of the library yielded a...
