Role of Gap Junctions and Hemichannels in Parasitic Infections

<table>Intracellular <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> growth depends on type of host hemichannels. HeLa cells transfected with Cx43, or Panx1 were infected with strain Y of <i>T</i>. <i>cruzi</i>, and the number of intracellular parasites was determined at 4, 24, and 48 hours after infection. The number of parasites per infected cell of a total of 500 infected cells is shown.</table>
