Journal Article
Lipophosphoglycan from Leishmania mexicana promastigotes binds to members of the CR3, p150,95 and LFA-1 family of leukocyte integrins.
TL;DR: Antibody inhibition experiments and competition binding studies with synthetic peptides and soluble LPG indicated that LPG is recognized by the nonpeptide, or "LPS" binding site on CR3, were the predominant mediators of attachment of LPG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leishmania and the macrophage: a marriage of inconvenience.
TL;DR: The attachment mechanisms of Leishmania promastigotes to macrophages, and the possible role of complement components in their opsonization are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between pathogenic amebas and fibronectin: substrate degradation and changes in cytoskeleton organization.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the interaction of E. histolytica with FN occurs through a specific surface receptor, and the interaction promotes amebic cytoskeleton changes and release of proteases from the parasite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of a 220-Kilodalton Protein With Lectin Properties From a Virulent Strain of Entamoeba histolytica
José Luis Rosales-Encina,Isaura Meza,Alfredo López-De-León,Patricia Talamás-Rohana,Marcos Rojkind +4 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that this 220-kDa protein with lectin properties is a component of the plasma membrane and could be one of the putative "receptor" molecules involved in cell and/or matrix attachment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cytoskeleton of Entamoeba histolytica: Structure, Function, and Regulation by Signaling Pathways
TL;DR: Current knowledge about the cytoskeleton of E. histolytica and the ways in which the parasite controls motility are evaluated to suggest that parasitic organisms may have developed adaptative differences that could be useful as targets to stop invasion.
