A Proteomic and Cellular Analysis of Uropods in the Pathogen Entamoeba histolytica
Figure 2
Serum from amoebiasis patients promotes uropod formation in E. histolytica.
The micrographs represent confocal microsopy sections of fixed parasites following incubation with serum from patients with amoebic liver abscesses (A) or from healthy donors (B). The left panels show immunofluorescence images obtained after incubation with anti-human antibodies. The right panels show the overlaid phase contrast/fluorescence images of entire parasites. The detector gain for fluorescence was increased in images shown in panel B. Scale bars: 10 µm.
