The immature cyst wall is stained with tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate-labeled Dolichos biflorus lectin, and endogenous microneme protein MIC3 is detected with monoclonal anti-MIC3 antibody (kindly provided by J. F. Dubremetz, University of Montpellier, Montpellier, France) and AlexaFluor 350-conjugated goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin G antiserum (Molecular Probes). (Photo courtesy of F. Dzierszinski and D. S.
