EEVD motif of heat shock cognate protein 70 contributes to bacterial uptake by trophoblast giant cells

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The uptake of abortion-inducing pathogens by trophoblast giant (TG) cells is a key event in infectious abortion. However, little is known about phagocytic functions of TG cells against the pathogens. Here we show that heat shock cogn...
