Table 1.
Amoeba strain | Amoebae with a uroid (%) | Total amoebae counteda |
---|---|---|
ExEhNeo 10 | 70.9 | 1031 |
ExEhNeo 20 | 71.7 | 852 |
LMM 10 | 68.6 | 868 |
LMM 20 | 44.7 | 927 |
LMM 30 | 20.1 | 900 |
Amoebae were counted in two independent experiments. Capping in replicating trophozoites was induced by incubation of the parasites in the presence of FITC-labeled ConA. Cells were fixed, and uroid-containing cells were counted.
