Quantification of antibodies ligated on trophozoites in liver of hamsters infected with E. histolytica or E. dispar trophozoites. (a) Average of the optical density (OD) values obtained at each time point (12, 24, 48, 72, 144, and 192 hs) of infection. OD values closer to zero correspond to strong immunolabeling and, consequently, higher anti-antibodies against trophozoites binding. *p < 0.05 vs E. histolytica strain. Data is shown as means ± SEM.
