An electron microscopic study of Babesia microti invading erythrocytes.

Abstract:

:Intracellular sporozoan parasites invade the host cell through the invagination of the plasma membrane of the host and a vacuole is formed which accommodates the entering parasite. The vacuole may disappear and the invaginated membrane of the host then becomes closely apposed to that of the parasite's own membrane. As a result the parasite is covered by two membranes. Members of the class Piroplasmea differ from other Sporozoa in that their trophozoites are covered by a single membrane. By screening numerous sections of intraerythrocytic Babesia microti belonging to the class Piroplasmea, it was found that merozoites of Babesia enter the erythrocytes of hamsters in the same way as those of the other Sporozoa. When a merozoite touches the red blood cell with its anterior end it becomes attached to the membrane of the host, which starts to invaginate and a parasitophorous vacuole is formed. The vacuolar space disappears rapidly and the membrane of the vacuole and that of the parasite become closely adjacent. At this stage the parasite is surrounded by two plasma membranes. The outer membrane derived from the invaginated host membrane disintegrates quickly and the parasite is left with a single membrane throughout its life span.

  • Adhesive interactions between CD34(+)-derived dendritic cell precursors and dermal microvascular endothelial cells studied by scanning electron microscopy.

    abstract::Dendritic cells are migratory cells. Before they extravasate from the circulation into the skin across capillary blood vessel walls, they have to interact with endothelial cells. Using a fluorimetric adhesion assay, we have recently shown that CD34(+)-derived dendritic cell precursors are able to bind to resting and s...
