Project name: Entamoeba histolytica

Description: E. histolytica of strains HM1:IMSS (virulent) and Rahman (avirulent) were examined for response to oxidative and nitrosative stress.Overall design: Response to oxidative stress in E. histolytica was assayed by treating Eh (HM1:IMSS) and Eh (Rahman) with 1mM H2O2 for 60 minutes or 90 minutes and comparing transcription to parasites grown in TYI. In addition, response to nitosative stress was assayed in Eh (HM1:IMSS) by treatment for 60 minutes with 200 µM DPTA-NONOate.
