Trogocytosis by Entamoeba histolytica mediates acquisition and display of human cell membrane proteins and evasion of lysis by human serum

2018-12-04

Abstract excerpt

Entamoeba histolytica is the protozoan parasite responsible for amoebiasis. We previously showed that E. histolytica kills human cells through a mechanism that we termed trogocytosis (trogo-: nibble), due to its resemblance to trogocytosis in other organisms. In parasites, trogocytosis is used to kill host cells. In multicellular organisms, trogocytosis is used for cell-cell interactions in the immune system, in t...
