Identification and biochemical characterisation of Acanthamoeba castellanii cysteine protease 3

2020-11-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Acanthamoeba spp. are free-living amoeba that are ubiquitously distributed in the environment. This study examines pathogenic Acanthamoeba cysteine proteases ( Ac CPs) belonging to the cathepsin L-family and explores the mechanism of Ac CP3 interaction with host cells. <h4>Methods: </h4>: Six Ac CP genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Quantitative real-time PCR was used to...
