The most abundant cyst wall proteins of <i>Acanthamoeba castellanii</i> are cellulose-binding lectins from three gene families that localize to distinct structures in cyst walls

2018-12-13

Abstract excerpt

Acanthamoeba castellanii , cause of keratitis and blindness, is an emerging pathogen because of its association with contact lens use. The cyst wall contributes to pathogenesis as cysts are resistant to sterilizing reagents in lens solutions and to antibiotics applied to the eye. Here we used structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and probes for glycopolymers to show that purified cyst walls of A. castellanii r...
