Effects of lactoferrin on sporozoites and oocsyst/sporozoites during Cryptosporidium parvum infection. (A) Sporozoites were incubated (or not) with lactoferrin and then used to infect HCT-8 cells, grey bars indicate the average of three experiments, P values were calculated from a t test, error bars indicates standard deviation. (B) Oocyst were added to HCT-8 cells and incubated with excystation media containing (or not) lactoferrin, the bars represent the median of 2 independent experiments conducted by duplicate.
