Fig. 1 Effect of duration of IFN-γ treatment of HT-29 cells on C. parvum infection. Cells were incubated with medium containing 100 U/mL IFN-γ from between 24 hours before parasite inoculation to 19 hours after parasite inoculation. Parasites were enumerated by Giemsa staining (▩) and IFA (▩). Gastroenterology , DOI: ( /gast ) Copyright © 2001 American Gastroenterological Association Terms and Conditions

Fig. 2 Effect of concentration of IFN-γ on inhibition of C. parvum infection in 3 different cell lines: HT-29 (▩), Caco-2 (□), and H4 cells (■). Each cell line was incubated with medium containing 100 U/mL IFN-γ for 24 hours before parasite inoculation.

Fig. 3 Differences in expression of IFN-γ R (α-chain) in H4, Caco-2, and HT-29 cell lines determined by Western blotting. Molecular weight markers (lane 1) are 43, 80, 116, and 200 kilodaltons. The IFN-γR is located at approximately 80 kilodaltons, indicated by the arrow ([a] 200 μg/mL or [b] 100 μg/mL).

Fig. 4 The effect of blockade of the JAK/STAT pathway by the selective JAK-2 inhibitor, tyrphostin B42, on IFN-γ–mediated inhibition of C. parvum infection. HT-29 cells were incubated with medium containing 100 U/mL IFN-γ. Parasites were enumerated by IFA.

Fig. 5 Inhibition of early development of C. parvum by IFN-γ. Intracellular development was quantified 4 and 24 hours after infection in HT-29 cells cultured in the presence (▩) or absence (□) of IFN-γ.

Fig. 6 Effect of the NOS inhibition on IFN-γ–mediated inhibition of C. parvum infection. ■, IFN-γ alone (100 U/mL); □, IFN-γ and high-concentration NOS inhibitor; ●, IFN-γ and low-concentration NOS inhibitor; ▩, high-concentration NOS inhibitor alone.

Fig. 7 Effect of FeSO4 on IFN-γ–mediated inhibition of C. parvum infection. HT-29 cells were incubated with medium containing 100 U/mL IFN-γ. Gastroenterology , DOI: ( /gast ) Copyright © 2001 American Gastroenterological Association Terms and Conditions
