Mitotic index of <i>Giardia</i> trophozoites transfected with water, mispair anti-EB1 morpholinos, or anti-EB1 morpholinos.

<p>(A) Upon staining with DAPI, the cells were counted for those with two nuclei or four nuclei. (B) <i>Giardia</i> trophozoites transfected with water, mispair anti-EB1 morpholinos, or anti-EB1 morpholinos, were counted for the numbers of their nuclei, and then indicated in the graph as percentages. The percentage of cell population with a two or four nuclei was significantly different each conditions by the Student's <i>t</i>-test. Data with <i>p</i>-value of <0.05 are indicated with an asterisk. Standard deviations were derived from three independent experiments. The percentage of cell population was counted in a total of 200 cells per each condition and measured in triplicates for each sample.
