Figure 1From: Phagocytosis of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia by primary nasal epithelial cells in vitroZ view of HNEC showing internalization of A. fumigatus and P. chrysogenum conidia using confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. Cells were incubated with FITC-labeled conidia for 8 h. The cells were then labeled with specific human cytokeratin antibody and conjugated secondary antibody. (A) Three A. fumigatus conidia in HNEC. (B) Two P. chrysogenum conidia in HNEC. AP: apical pole. Bar = 5 μm.Back to article page
