About this document
Trogocytosis in E. histolytica: Immune Evasion by Belhocine Abderrazaq is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates how Entamoeba histolytica acquires and displays human cell membrane proteins through a process called trogocytosis, which allows the amoeba to evade lysis by human serum. This mechanism, which involves the nibbling of human cells, leads to the protection of the amoeba from immune detection and suggests that trogocytosis is a broader feature of eukaryotic biology. The findings have significant implications for understanding the interactions between E. histolytica and the immune system,
