Disruption of Lipid Rafts Interferes with the Interaction of Toxoplasma gondii with Macrophages and Epithelial Cells

Figure 2

Scanning electron microscopy images of control macrophages (a) evenly spread over the glass surface. (b) Treatment with 20 mM MβCD caused the macrophages to detach from the glass, leaving a print in the coverslip (arrows). Macrophages that resisted the treatment were more spherical, suggesting a retraction of filopodia and adhesion points. Bar: 50 μm.
