Figure 2. Schistosomal GPI-Linked Surface Proteins Directly Bind to Lipoprotein Particles.
Lipoprotein particles isolated from control (A, C, and E) and patient (B, D, and F) sera were stained by immunogold labelling for schistosome-specific glycoconjugates using biotinylated antibody 120–1B10 (A and B), anti-SM200 (C and D), and anti-ApoB (E and F) and goat anti-biotin conjugated to 10 nm gold and visualized by electron microscopy. Bar, 100 nm. Data are representative of three infected individuals.
