Sialoglycoconjugates in Herpetomonas megaseliae: role in the adhesion to insect host epithelial cells.
Herpetomonas megaseliae is a monoxenic trypanosomatid isolated from the phorid fly Megaselia scalaris. In the present report, the expression of cell surface sialoglycoconjugates in this parasite was analyzed by Western blotting, flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy analyses using lectins that specifically recognize sialic acid residues. A strong reaction was detected when parasites were t...
متن کاملQuick-freeze, deep-etch rotary replication of Trypanosoma cruzi and Herpetomonas megaseliae.
The fine structure of epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi and promastigotes of Herpetomonas megaseliae was analysed in replicas of quick-frozen, freeze-fractured, deeply etched and rotary-replicated cells. Using control cells and cells treated with Triton X-100 before glutaraldehyde fixation, images were obtained that showed connections of the sub-pellicular microtubules with each other, with th...
متن کاملHerpetomonas megaseliae and Crithidia harmosa: growth on blood-agar plates.
A technique for culturing two species of trypanosomatid flagellates on blood-agar plates is described. Herpetomonas megaseliae and Crithidia harmosa were grown as discrete clone colonies on plates prepared in sterile petri dishes with a medium derived from that of Tobie et al. (1950, J Parasitol 36: 48-54). Plates were inoculated with 0.01 ml flagellate suspension and the inoculum was spread ev...
متن کاملEvidence for a sliding-resistance at the tip of the trypanosome flagellum.
Motility in trypanosomes is achieved through the undulating behaviour of a single "9 + 2" flagellum; normally the flagellar waves begin at the flagellar tip and propagate towards the base. For flagella in general, however, propagation is from base-to-tip and it is believed that bend formation, and sustained regular oscillation, depend upon a localised resistance to inter-doublet sliding - which...
متن کاملRelationships between the major kinetoplastid paraflagellar rod proteins: a consolidating nomenclature.
The Kinetoplastida comprise a family of flagellated microbes that are defined by the presence of a network of concatenated mitochondrial DNA called the kinetoplast and a range of other unique features. One such is the paraflagellar rod (PFR), which has an essential role in cell motility [1–3], an intricate sub-structural arrangement [4,5] and an interesting phylogenetic distribution [6,7]. Alth...
