Distribution of laminin in P. berghei oocyst capsules. Ninety three areas of capsule from 11 P. berghei oocysts were analysed to determine the precise location of laminin by immunogold labelling using anti-D. melanogaster laminin antibodies directed against the β and γ chains and detected with a 10 nm gold-conjugated secondary antibody. The percentage distribution of gold particles (n = 296) situated either on the outer surface of the capsule, within the capsule or and equivalent are of midgut lumen was calculated.
