title: Both CP15 and CP25 are left as trails behind gliding sporozoites of Cryptosporidium parvum (Apicomplexa).
abstract: Sporozoites of Cryptosporidium parvum were examined after gliding upon glass microscope slides using monoclonal antibodies to the 15 and 25 kDa surface molecules and immunogold-silver enhancement. Both antibodies bound to surface antigen deposited as trials behind parasites, suggesting that both surface molecules are involved in substrate attachment.
