Actin, RhoA, and Rab11 Participation during Encystment in Entamoeba invadens

Figure 4

Increase in polymerized actin level, in the early stages of encystment. ((a), (b)) Western blot and densitometric analysis showing an increase in polymerized actin in comparison with total actin [If/(Sf+If)∗100] during encystment and ((c), (d)) an increase of F-actin (red) by fluorescence microscopy at early times after induction of encystment (12 h). Results are the average of three independent experiments done in duplicate (^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.001).
