Abstract excerpt
Cryptosporidium parvum is a parasitic protist and a causative agent of mild-to-severe diarrheal diseases in humans and animals. Despite its globally recognized importance, knowledge on the mechanism of parasite invasion and molecular interactions between host cells and the parasite is limited. Here, we report the establishment of 43 mutant cell lines derived from HCT-8 cells by UV-induced mutagenesis and the...
