Amebic Liver Abscess 10/01/1992 - "Antibodies to histolysain were found in 72.7% of cases of amoebic liver abscess, 18.1% of the cyst passers and 2.5% of healthy controls, which suggests that a humoral immune response is induced by histolysain during amoebic liver abscess." 10/01/1992 - "Circulating antibodies to histolysain, the major cysteine proteinase of Entamoeba histolytica, in amoebic liver abscess patients."
