A Sequential Model of Host Cell Killing and Phagocytosis by Entamoeba histolytica
Figure 1
Sequential model of cell killing and phagocytosis by Entamoeba histolytica. Adherence, cell killing, and initiation of phagocytosis leading to engulfment of host cells are depicted from left to right. Abbreviations: cysteine protease adhesin (CPADH), transmembrane kinase (TMK), serine-threonine-isoleucine rich protein (STIRP), reactive oxygen species (ROS), serine-rich Entamoeba histolytica protein (SREHP), cysteine protease 5 (CP5), and phosphatidylserine (PS).
