GFP-labeled neutrophils of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis infected zebrafish caudal fins (primary and secondary infections). Representative images of the caudal fins demonstrating the recruitment of neutrophils to infected areas following exposure to the fish parasite I. multifiliis of naïve (NC) and immunized (IC) adult zebrafish. The scale bar applies to all images. |
Close-up of neutrophils, the parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and an image of a Wild Type tail fin using GFP settings. A) Enlargement of a section on a fin from Fig 5 (0h, IC) to show the neutrophils in the transgenic zebrafish line Tg(MPO:GFP)i114 in greater detail. B) Neutrophil accumulation in connection with I. multifiliis on the tail fin of an adult zebrafish of the same transgenic line. C) A wild type zebrafish tail fin using GFP filter illumination. The white arrow indicates the parasite. |
