The hybridization ratios of E. dispar SAW760 and E. histolytica Rahman to E. histolytica HM-1:IMSS are shown for EhActin, CP1, Ariel1, EhSINE1, KERP1, and CP8. Actin has similar expression levels in all Entamoeba species/strains studied. CP1, Ariel1, EhSINE1, and KERP1, all previously shown to be missing at a genomic level in E. dispar SAW760, showed significantly less expression in E. dispar SAW760 than in E. histolytica HM-1:IMSS. CP8, present in E. dispar SAW760 but known to have less expression, shows significantly less hybridization for E. dispar SAW760 than E. histolytica HM-1:IMSS. E. histolytica Rahman had expression levels equivalent to those of E. histolytica HM-1:IMSS for all genes shown. Genes with significantly decreased (P value of <0.05) expression levels compared to those of E. histolytica HM-1:IMSS are denoted with an asterisk. ED, E. dispar; EH, E. histolytica.
