Morphological and Motility Features of the Stable Bleb-Driven Monopodial Form of Entamoeba and Its Importance in Encystation.

abstract：:Murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) can phagocytose and process Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium for peptide presentation on major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) and MHC-II molecules. To investigate if a serovar Typhimurium encounter with DC induces maturation and downregulates their abi...
