Its dissolution is caused by material released from the egg about 15 min after fertilisation through exocytosis of at least two types of vacuoles.
Upon reaching the surface, the vacuoles were fused, leading to disruption of the apical region of syncytial tegument along the basement layer.
The cytoplasm of normal blastomeres was occupied by vacuoles with electron-dense granular material and large lipid drops.
Many lysosomes contained apoptotic bodies, characterised by membrane-bound, condensed, homogeneous material with vacuoles.
In both types of cell were present vacuoles and vesicles, but these were more numerous in the electron-dense cells resting on the basal lamina.
In the oocyte cortex there are lining bodies and numerous vacuoles.
In trophozoites, the labelling was diffuse in the parasite cytoplasm, with accumulations around the food vacuole.
