Figure 5. — The IMC membrane is largely resistant to extraction by TX100/PBS. (A) Isolated pellicles of nonextracted parasites possess an intact plasma membrane, IMC membrane, and the associated cytoskeleton. (B) Extraction in TX100/PBS removes the plasma membrane but does not affect the appearance of the IMC membrane. (C) The IMC membrane is solubilized efficiently by extraction in TX100/TBS as well as by treatment with mβCD (D). Subpellicular microtubules are indicated by asterisks. Bar, 100 nm.
