After contact with the type I pneumocyte, P. carinii trophozoites anchor themselves to the host cell.
Gene-expression profiling of trophozoites and schizonts
To develop P. carinii infection, Sprague-Dawley female rats were immunosuppressed with dexamethasone and then trans-tracheally inoculated with 0.2 ml of homogenate of an infected rat lung containing 1 × 10 6 P. carinii trophozoites or with a homogenate of uninfected rat lung as controls as described previously [ 33].
Of the genes assayed, 854 features displayed a differential expression greater than twofold (Figure 5): 525 showed higher relative transcript abundance in trophozoites than in schizonts, whereas 326 had greater relative transcript abundance in schizonts.
In addition, trophozoites are characterized by massive hemoglobin ingestion, intake of nutrients from the surrounding medium, increasing concentration of cytoplasmic ribosomes and rapid formation of organelles.
