8 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The category B agent of bioterrorism, Entamoeba histolytica has a two-stage life cycle: an infective cyst stage, and an invasive trophozoite stage. Due to our inability to effectively induce encystation in vitro, our knowledge about the cyst form remains limited. This also hampers our ability to develop cyst-specific diagnostic tools. AIMS: Three main aims were (i) to identify E. histolytica proteins...
