Figure Legend Snippet: CellTrace Violet (CTV) reduces T. cruzi infectivity and inhibits intracellular proliferation. (A) T. cruzi CL-Luc::Scarlet trypomastigotes were incubated with either 5 or 10 µM CTV for 20 minutes and used to infect Vero cell monolayers at a multiplicity of infection of 10:1 (Materials and methods). 18 hours later, infection efficiency was determined by inspecting a total of 2,203 (control), 3,781 (5 µM), and 3,840 (10 µM) Vero cells. At least 300 of these were infected in each case. Each data point corresponds to a randomly acquired image and represents the mean percentage of cells infected. Differences between columns were analysed using a parametric one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc pair wise comparisons. ****p=≤0.0001. (B) Vero cells infected with CTV−ve or CTV+ve trypomastigotes (as above) were incubated for the time periods indicated. The numbers of amastigotes per infected host cell were then determined by analysing >300 infected cells per treatment. Error bars represent the standard deviation from the mean. Data were analysed using a Wilcoxon rank sum test. (C) Images of Vero cells 36 hours after infection with CTV−ve or CTV+ve trypomastigotes. Red, fluorescent T. cruzi amastigotes. Fluorescent parasites containing the CTV tracer dye appear as purple on a red fluorescent background. Size bars=20 µM (D) Images of Vero cells 5 days after infection with trypomastigotes that had been incubated with various concentrations of CTV, as indicated. Blue, intracellular vesicles containing CVT. See also supplementary Video 1. Size bars=20 µM, except where indicated; *=50 µM.
