摘要
Naegleria fowleri, a free-living amoeba-flagellate responsible for primary amoebic meningoencephalitis in man, was observed to cap and internalize surface-bound antibody. These results suggest that the ability of N. fowleri to remove antibody from its surface may allow the amoeba to resist the action of the host's immune system. © 1979.
