Description: Phagoacidosomes are heavily labeled for L1 antigen in 5-8 to 15-18 minute-old DVs. However, only some DVs at 15-18 min still had L1 label. Only occasionally did we see tubules with label arising from the 15-18 min-old vacuole to support the idea that DV-II membrane is retrieved during the transformation of phagoacidosomes to phagolysosomes. The DV shown here was 15-18 min old as it contained 0.3µm latex beads. There is a small amount of DV-II specific L1 immunogold label in the tubules and in their bulbous ends. The phagolysosome membrane itself is totally free of this label. TEM taken on 2/18/92 by R. Allen with Zeiss 10A operating at 80kV. Neg. 12,000X. Bar = 0.5µm.
