Figure 2. Amylopectin levels are not defined by tissue cyst size.

Figure 2.

(A) Tissue cysts were designated as small (<30μm diameter), medium sized (30–60μm diameter or large (>60μM diameter). Representative images of PAS intensity, defining low, mean and high ranges in cysts of each size class. PAS intensity is in grayscale values determined from the captured grayscale image. Scale bar = 10μm. (B) The relationship between cyst size and mean PAS intensity for 180 tissue cysts (30×6) acquired at random at 6 weekly time points from week 3–8 post infection. Of the 180 tissue cysts 38 (21%) were small, 118 (66%) were medium sized and 24 (13%) were large. Tissue cysts in this data set were analyzed by week in Figures 4,5. While a trend line (r2 = 0.0562) suggest a weak correlation between cyst size and AG levels based on PAS intensity. Pearson Coefficient = −0.236.
