Cell migration through Matrigel. Migration of parasites transfected with EpNEO, an empty episomal expression vector (black line), or TvTSP6ΔCt, a truncated C-terminal version of TvTSP6 (grey line), was determined over a 6 h period. Every sample in each point of the curve was carried out in triplicates. Error bars indicate standard deviations. A representative experiment of six independent experiments is shown. Note that after 6 h, 100% of the TvTSP6-transfected parasites had migrated into the lower chamber compared to 70% of TVTSP6ΔCt transfectants.
