Inhibition of Amebic Lysosomal Acidification Blocks Amebic Trogocytosis and Cell Killing

ABSTRACT Entamoeba histolytica ingests fragments of live host cells in a nibbling-like process termed amebic trogocytosis. Amebic trogocytosis is required for cell killing and contributes to tissue invasion, which is a hallmark of invasive amebic colitis. Work done prior to the discovery of amebic t...
