From: Induction of virulence factors in Giardia duodenalis independent of host attachment
Results of the in vitro host-cell attachment versus non-specific adherence.
(A) Rates of attachment between Giardia trophozoites incubated with HT-29 cells over 6 hours against a control for adherence (T75 flasks with media only). A ‘*’ indicates a significant difference in % attached trophozoites compared to control (designated by p-value ≤ 0.05). (B) Changes in HT-29 cell morphology induced during co-incubation with Giardia trophozoites. The arrows (▲) highlight 2 regions of affected cells throughout the 6 hour co-incubation.
