Figure 7. Trophozoite viability is required for T. foetus adhesion.

Figure 7

(A) Adhesion of formalin-treated [3H] thymidine labeled-TF to IPEC-J2 cells is significantly reduced compared to vehicle treated (deionized water) TF. Each column represents 6 replicates. **p<0.01 compared to vehicle treated control (Student’s t test). (B) A representative, qualitative fluorescence microscopy image demonstrating CFSE-labeled TF (green) adhering to monolayers of porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2). IPEC-J2 cells can be identified by the nuclear counterstain, DAPI (blue). Adhesion is reduced following treatment of TF with 1% formalin (10× magnification).
