Example sentences for: merozoite
How can you use “merozoite” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Eighteen ORFs, identical or homologous to proteins associated with the merozoite surface, were present among the schizont-enriched genes.
These include genes encoding ribosomal subunits, multiple factors for transcription and translation, enzymes of biosynthetic and catabolic pathways, or merozoite adherence and invasion machinery.
This group included four merozoite surface proteins (MSP): MSP1 (M19753), MSP4, MSP5, (AF033037) and MSP6 (AY007721).
In summary, the schizont stage of plasmodial development featured genes predominantly occupied with the process of merozoite function as well as the advance synthesis of transcripts for proteins that facilitate parasite establishment within the newly infected erythrocyte.
The initial step of this process, adhesion of the merozoite to the surface of an erythrocyte, is facilitated by several classes of proteins exposed on the surface of the parasite.
