Immunofluorescent staining and miRNA expression of HCT-8 AND HT-29 cell lines upon Cryptosporidium infection

The protozoan Cryptosporidium mainly infects the epithelial cells of colorectal region. The Infection of this species can be observed and confirmed by immunofluorescent staining method in vitro. Meanwhile, the onco-microRNA and tumour suppressor miRNA expression pattern of the epithelial cells upon...

Our current observation suggests that, C. parvum can potentially infect the colorectal cancer cell lines and play critical role in regulating oncomiRNAs and tumor suppressor miRNAs. 2018 Conference or Workshop Item NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/67087/1/Abstract%20MSAB%20conference-%20Jainul%20et%20al.pdf Jainul, Mohammed Abdullah and Md Isa, Muhammad Lokman and Mat Yusof, Afzan (2018) Immunofluorescent staining and miRNA expression of HCT-8 AND HT-29 cell lines upon Cryptosporidium infection.
