BspA and Pmp proteins of <i>Trichomonas vaginalis</i> mediate adherence to host cells

2018-10-27

Abstract excerpt

Trichomonas vaginalis is one of the most widespread, sexually transmitted pathogens. The infection involves a morphological switch from a free-swimming pyriform trophozoite to an amoeboid cell upon adhesion to host epithelial cells. While details on how the switch is induced and to what proteins of the host surface the parasite adheres remain poorly characterized, several surface proteins of the parasite itself ha...
