35/31 KDA SUBUNIT OF THE ENTAMOEBA HISTOLYTICA ADHERENCE LECTIN

摘要

The 35/31 kDa subunit of the Gal/GalNAc lectin and DNA encoding this protein in various strains of E. histolytica are provided. These materials are useful in vaccines and diagnostic assays, and in antisense methods to interrupt the production of the Gal/GalNAc lectin. Antibodies specific for the 35/31 kDa subunit also are disclosed.
