Selective Agglutination of Pathogenic Strains of Entamoeba histolytica induced Con A

Nature New Biology volume 245, pages 186–187 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

THE study of the cellular properties of Entamoeba histolytica has been facilitated by the development of cultures under axenic conditions1. Various strains of E. histolytica have been isolated from patients with acute dysentery and from asymptomatic carriers. Because of the possible differences in the degree of virulence between these two types of strain, we studied their surface properties, using various methods which have been of value in identifying differences between normal and tumour cell surfaces2.
