摘要: The intravacuolar network inside the parasitophorous vacuole of Toxoplasma gondii consists an intricate system membrane-limited tubules uncertain role in parasite development. We propose that it is important structural support to maintenance parasites characteristic rosette arrangement vacuole, rather than being associated with nutrient acquisition from host cell, as previously suggested. based our assumptions on observations made by field emission scanning electron microscopy epithelial cell line (LLCMK2) infected at various time intervals. Scraping surface monolayers Scotch tape exposed inner organization vacuole. Ultrathin sections and freeze-fracture replicas analogous samples were correlated added new data tubular membranes general
