Figure 2. Unsaturated phosphatidylethanolamine produced homogeneous crystals morphologically similar to those induced by R. prolixus midgut lipids.

Figure 2

Transmission electron microscopy of crystals induced by 100 µM uPC (A), uPS (B) or uPE (C) or 10 µg/mL total lipids isolated from R. prolixus midgut content previously fed with plasma (D) or blood (E). The inset shown in uPC represent a very small population of regularly shaped crystals produced by uPC. Scale bars represent 100 nm for all images, including the inset.
