EtMIC4 is a microneme protein of Eimeria tenella, an intracellular apicomplexan protozoan
that can cause severe enteritis in chickens. The EtMIC4 gene has been partially …

The gene coding for Eimeria tenella protein EtMIC3 was cloned by screening a sporozoite
cDNA library with two independent monoclonal antibodies raised against the oocyst stage …

The apicomplexan pathogens of Eimeria tenella cause coccidiosis, an intestinal disease of
chickens that has a major economic impact on the poultry industry. Members of Apicomplexa …

Abstract Microneme proteins (MICs) of Eimeria species are critical for motility of the parasite,
identification and binding of host cell-surface proteins, invasion of host cells, and …

The expressed sequence tag (EST) dataset of Toxoplasma gondii provides a wealth of
information towards gene discovery. The complete cDNA and genomic sequence of EST …

Microneme organelles are located at the apical tip of invading stages of all apicomplexan
parasites and they contain proteins that are critical for parasite adhesion to host cells. In this …

Eimeria tenella microneme-1 protein (EtMIC1) has been proposed to be a transmembrane
protein, but this characteristic has not yet been confirmed experimentally. Furthermore …

Micronemes are specialised secretory organelles that release their proteins by a stimulus-
coupled exocytosis that occurs when apicomplexan parasites make contact with target host …

Micronemes are secretary organelles of the invasive stages of all Apicomplascan parasites,
and their proteins are crucial for parasite motility, adhesion and host cell invasion. The gene …

ABSTRACT Microneme proteins (MICs) of Eimeria tenella play key roles in motility,
migration, attachment, and invasion processes. More than 20 apicomplexan parasite's MICs …
