Leishmania amazonensis Arginase Compartmentalization in the Glycosome Is Important for Parasite Infectivity
Figure 1
L. amazonensis ARG remains compartmentalized during macrophage in vitro infection.
Cytological preparation probed for arginase immunolocalization via electron microscopy. (A) J774A 1 macrophages infected for 24 hours with L. amazonensis promastigotes in the stationary phase (4 different sections). (B) L. amazonensis promastigotes. Black arrows indicate compartmentalized ARG labeling. Parasite nuclei (N), macrophage nuclei (MN) and the kinetoplast (K) are indicated. Scale bar: 200 nm.
