Enhancement of virulence of Entamoeba histolytica by in vitro liver treatment.

Abstract

Enhancement of the virulence of five strains of Entamoeba histolytica (three xenically maintained and two axenically maintained) was studied after in vitro incubation with normal hamster liver. Increased virulence was shown by the ability of a small number of liver-treated trophozoites to produce liver lesions in hamsters. Enhancement of virulence was positively correlated with increased resistance to normal hamster serum complement in vitro.
