Notes:
Detergent lysates of Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites contained high levels of β-N acetyl-D-glucosaminidase. β-N acetyl-D-galactosaminidase and α-D-galactosidase activity, and lower but significant levels of five other glycosidases. Although these activities should have been capable of largely degrading the oligosaccharide side-chains of human colonic mucin, in fact only about one third of high MW mucin was degraded in 72 h and trypsin alone produced a similar effect. There was no evidence that these glycosidases were excreted and we conclude that they are unlikely to represent significant virulence factors for E. histolytica.
