Giardia duodenalis Assemblage-Specific Induction of Apoptosis and Tight Junction Disruption in Human Intestinal Epithelial Cells: Effects of Mixed Infections
1 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
In view of the interest in genotype-specific pathogenesis in Giardia duodenalis , the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of infection with different, or mixed, G. duodenalis assemblages on the integrity of human intestinal epithelia. To that end, human epithelial cells (HCT-8) were cultured and exposed to different G. duodenalis assemblages (A, B, and E) or a combination of these assemblages....
