-
Indeed, TgAaaH2 expression may be strictly stage specific as tachyzoite cultures may contain a small proportion of bradyzoites from spontaneous conversion, as found in previous studies
-
Expression of SAG1 tachyzoite specific marker and BAG 1 / SAG 4 bradyzoite specific marker genes (dashed and white bars respectively) was also followed to confirm differentiation to bradyzoites.
-
The complement of host proteins changes during tachyzoite infection with the induction of numerous mitochondrial and several ER proteins
-
Expression of SAG1 tachyzoite specific marker and BAG 1 / SAG 4 bradyzoite specific marker genes (dashed and white bars respectively) was also followed to confirm differentiation to bradyzoites.
-
Gene expression of mRNA encoding TgAaaH1&2 during pH shock induced stage conversion from the tachyzoite to the bradyzoite life cycle stages was monitored.

-
Stage specific mRNA expression of TgAaaH 1&2 during the tachyzoite to bradyzoite switch against actin as a housekeeping gene.
-
Expression of TgAaaH2 mRNA increases up to ten-fold in parasites during conversion from the fast-growing tachyzoite stage to the cyst-forming bradyzoite stage while TgAaaH1 mRNA is unchanged (
