Interaction between Entamoeba histolytica and intestinal epithelial cells involves a CD44 cross-reactive protein expressed on the parasite surface.
This study shows that Entamoeba histolytica binds hyaluronic acid. The binding molecule was identified as an 80-kDa membrane protein and was recognized by anti-CD44 monoclonal antibodies. These data indicate that a CD44 cross-reacting adherence molecule is expressed on E. histolytica.
