A 50 kDa acidic protein, which is found within the microneme organelles of Eimeria tenella
sporozoites and merozoites and called E. tenella mic-2, was cloned by immunoscreening of …

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 …

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 …

Eimeria tenella, in common with other parasitic protozoa of the phylum Apicomplexa,
invades host cells using an actinomyosin-powered" glideosome" complex and requires the …

Micronemes are secretory organelles of the invasive stages of apicomplexan parasites and
contain proteins that are important for parasite motility and host cell invasion. We have …

Microneme proteins play an important role in the adherence of apicomplexan parasites to
host cells during the invasion process. In this study, the microneme 2 protein from the …

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

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

Microneme organelles are present in all apicomplexan protozoa and contain proteins that
are critical for parasite motility and host cell invasion. One apicomplexan-wide family of …

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 …
