Identification and characterization of a carbohydrate recognition domain-like region in Entamoeba histolytica Gal/GalNAc lectin intermediate subunit

ABSTRACT Entamoeba histolytica is an enteric protozoan parasite that causes human amebic colitis and extraintestinal abscesses. As a prerequisite for parasite colonization and invasion, adherence of E. histolytica is predominantly mediated by galactose (Gal)- and N-acetyl-d-galactosamine (GalNAc)-in...
