Entamoeba histolytica is an anaerobic parasitic protozoan and the causative agent of amoebiasis. E. histolytica expresses proteins that are structurally homologous to human proteins and uses them as virulence factors. We have previously shown that E. histolytica binds exogenous interferon gamma (IFN-γ) on its surface, and in this study, we explored whether exogenous IFN-γ could modulate parasite virulence.
