Effect of KP treatment on Toxoplasma gondii proliferation in Vero cells. Light microscopy images (40×) of Vero cells cultured in chamber slides and stained with modified Giemsa are shown. (A) Uninfected cells, bar: 200 μm; (B) cells infected with T. gondii in absence of KP, bar: 200 μm; (C) higher magnification of the inset in (B), showing the high number of intracellular (white arrowheads) and extracellular (black arrows) parasites and debris of lysed cells (black arrowheads), bar: 100 μm; (D) cells infected with T. gondii in presence of the scrambled peptide SP, bar: 200 μm; (E–H) cells infected with T. gondii in presence of KP at increasing concentrations (25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL), bars: 200 μm; (I) higher magnification of the inset in (H), showing a low number of intracellular parasites (white arrowheads) and the absence of extracellular tachyzoites, bar: 100 μm.
