Abstract
⺠An alternative model for the study of hepatic amoebiasis is demonstrated. ⺠The model is based in the ex vivo infection of precision-cut hamster liver slices. ⺠Infected slices show histopathological lesions found in animal models. ⺠Cysteine proteinases 1, and 5, and amoebapore are expressed in infected liver slices. ⺠In this system Entamoeba histolytica induces inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis, and necrosis.
