The 29 kDa surface protein of Entamoeba histolytica is an abundant antigenic protein expressed by pathogenic strains of this organism. The protein is a member of a widely-dispersed group of homologues which includes at least two cysteinyl peroxidases, Salmonella typhimurium alkyl hydroperoxidase C-22 protein (AhpC) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae thiol-specific antioxidant protein (TSA). Here, for...
