This network focuses on intracellular compartments of eukaryotes which have been inhabited by different microbial pathogens. This application proposes to use state of the art electron microscopy to address relevant questions, from network partners, that require either ultrastructural information per se or the need to localize antigens using immuno-gold methods at the resolution level of electron microscopy. The EM results obtained by our group in Oslo will directly complement the data collected by the various groups in Germany. Our EM expertise will be made available to all members of the Program.
