The internalized swollen conidia were surrounded by the increased p-cofilin. a Internalization of swollen conidia of A. fumigatus ATCC13073 into A549 cells (MOI = 10) was monitored at 30 mpi by fluorescence microscopy (green, A. fumigatus conidia; red, p-cofilin; blue, nuclei). b Internalization of swollen conidia of A. fumigatus ATCC13073 into A549 cells (MOI = 10) was monitored at 30 mpi by fluorescence microscopy (green, A. fumigatus conidia; red, cofilin; blue, nuclei). The images were processed with Image Pro Express 6.0, and the merged fluorescence images are shown. The data represent three similar experiments, and the arrows (white) indicate the co-localization of p-cofilin and conidia. Scale bar, 50 μm
