Entamoeba histolytica Alters Ileal Paneth Cell Functions in Intact and Muc2 Mucin Deficiency

Enteric α-defensins, termed cryptdins (Crps) in mice, and lysozymes secreted by Paneth cells contribute to innate host defense in the ileum. Antimicrobial factors, including lysozymes and β-defensins, are often embedded in luminal glycosylated colonic Muc2 mucin secreted by goblet cells that form th...
