<b> <i>Entamoeba histolytica</i> and <i>Entamoeba dispar</i> : differences in numbers and expression of cysteine proteinase genes </b>

1 Oct 1996

Abstract excerpt

In order to identify molecules that might be responsible for the difference in pathogenicity between the two closely related protozoan parasites Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar, we focussed on cysteine proteinases because this class of enzymes has been considered important for pathogenic tissue destruction. By screening a genomic library derived from an E. histolytica isolate, a total of six distinct...
