Figure 8From: RNA Seq analysis of the Eimeria tenella gametocyte transcriptome reveals clues about the molecular basis for sexual reproduction and oocyst biogenesis TgHOWP1 and TgAO2 localisation in T. gondii -infected cat intestine. Sections of T. gondii-infected cat intestine (day 7 post-infection) were analysed by immunofluorescence microscopy with DAPI counterstaining. (a) Anti-TgHOWP1 mouse sera (1 in 100) localised to T. gondii macrogametes (Ma) but not to DAPI-positive late schizonts (Sch). Scale bar = 5 μm. (b) Anti-TgAO2 (1 in 100) localised to T. gondii macrogametes (Ma) but not to DAPI-positive late schizonts (Sch). Scale bar = 5 μm. (c) Anti-TgAO2 also localised to early oocysts (EO). Scale bar = 5 μm.Back to article page
