fluorescence imaging of Akt-PH-GFP recruitment to T. cruzi-associated
cell membranes. Transfected L6E9 myoblasts on 25 mm coverslips were placed in a
37°C heated chamber on an inverted fluorescence microscope.
Akt-PH-GFP-expressing cells were located and images acquired at 5 second
intervals before (0 minutes) and for 17 minutes following addition of T.
cruzi trypomastigotes. Akt-PH-GFP is
recruited to the host cell plasma membrane at the site of trypomastigote
attachment and invasion.
