Binding of Acanthamoeba to 23 mannose-glycoproteins of corneal epithelium: effect of injury

Purpose. Acanthamoeba keratitis is a sight-threatening corneal infection. It is known that: (i) more amoebae bind to the surface of injured corneas than to the normal corneal surface and (ii) mannose-containing glycoproteins (GPs) possess binding sites for Acanthamoeba.
