FIG. 7.

Relative amino sugar levels in different developmental stages of E. tenella. Cell lysates of each sample were assayed for the presence of the amino sugars, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine, using the lectins WGA (A) and JAC (B), respectively (white bars). All samples were also tested in the absence of lectin (black bars). A statistical comparison was made between each of the five protein samples (***, P < 0.001; **, P < 0.01; *, P < 0.05; ns, P > 0.05 [not significant]). All samples were tested in quadruplicate. Merozoites (M), gametocytes (G), unsporulated oocysts (U), sporulated oocysts (S), and uninfected host control (H) are as indicated.
