Cellular Events of Multinucleated Giant Cells Formation During the Encystation of Entamoeba invadens

Abstract excerpt

Entamoeba histolytica, the causative agent of amoebiasis, does not form cysts in vitro, so reptilian pathogen Entamoeba invadens is used as an Entamoeba encystation model. During the in vitro encystation of E. invadens, a few multinucleated giant cells (MGC) were also appeared in the culture along with cysts. Like the cyst, these MGC’s were also formed in the multicellular aggregates found in the encystation...
