Staining of the polar tubes with antibody to PTP1. Encephalitozoon hellem cultured in RK13 (rabbit kidney) cells was stained with antibody to EhPTP1 (secondary antibody Cy3 anti-mouse IgG) demonstrating the presence of PTP1 in the polar tube (arrows) and the occurrence of germination in cell culture in vitro. Spores of E. hellem stained with 0.5% Calcoflour white M3R (Xu et al., 2004) are indicated by an ‘*’. Bar=25 μm (courtesy of Peter Takvorian, Rutgers University).
