Fig 8. SEM and TEM of membranous helicoidally structures in pNeoEhvps32-HA transfected trophozoites.

Fig 8

(A-C) SEM of pNeo (A) and pNeoEhvps32-HA (B,C) transfected trophozoites. (C) Magnification of conical helicoidally structures protruding from plasma membrane. (D-F) TEM of glutaraldehyde fixed trophozoites transfected with pNeoEhvps32-HA plasmid embedded in Polybed epoxy resin. Square in (D), magnified in (E,F). (F) A drawing in green superposed to the concentric structure in (E). (G-L) TEM of pNeoEhvps32-HA transfected trophozoites, fixed by PFA and glutaraldehyde, embedded in LR White resin and incubated with αrEhVps32 antibodies followed by gold-labeled secondary antibodies. Arrows: gold particles. e: erythrocytes fragments. (J-L) Helicoidally structures in (G-I) were drawn in green.
