Cysteine proteinase 30 in clinical isolates of T. vaginalis from symptomatic and asymptomatic infected women.

A cysteine proteinase of 30 kDa (CP30) of Trichomonas vaginalis, is known to play a role in cytoadherence of the parasite to host cells. However, the CP30 activity in clinical isolates from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients has not been analyzed. In the present study, CP30 was detected in 20 fresh and long-term culture maintained T.
