Comparative Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analyses of Trichomonas vaginalis following Adherence to Fibronectin
28 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
The morphological transformation of Trichomonas vaginalis from an ellipsoid form in batch culture to an adherent amoeboid form results from the contact of parasites with vaginal epithelial cells and with immobilized fibronectin (FN), a basement membrane component. This suggests host signaling of the parasite. We applied integrated transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to investigate the molecular responses of...
