Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT Although it had been reported that the translation product of the functional aquaporin gene, aqp1, is localized to the contractile vacuole complex of Paramecium multimicronucleatum, the molecules that pass through this channel protein had not been identified. In the present study, we introduced and expressed this protein in Xenopus oocytes and

Phenotypic variation of surface antigenic determinants in Trichomonas vaginalis detected by monoclonal antibodies [PDF]
, 1992 We produced a large panel of murine monoclonal antibodies against surface determinants of Trichomonas vaginalis using the hybridoma technique. An immunoenzymatic technique (E.L.I.S.A.) was used to screen positive hybrid cells producing specific ...
