Tubercidin-loaded erythrocytes are less toxic to <i>E. histolytic</i> cells over-expressing H644 or EhLimA.

<p>Transgenic trophozoites were exposed to tubercidin-loaded erythrocytes (3 treatments) and viability was assessed 48 hours after treatments. The data are reported as a percent of the starting number of viable amoebae before treatment. The data represent the mean ± S.D of 3 trials. <i>E. histolytica</i> transgenic cells exposed to tubercidin-charged hRBCs displayed increased survival as compared to untransfected wild-type (WT) cells.
