Recognition of recombinant Ov-APR-1 and parasites extracts from different developmental stages of O. viverrini. Western blot of recombinant Ov-APR-1 (rAPR-1), soluble egg extract (egg), soluble metacercariae extract (MC), soluble adult somatic extract (adult) and adult worm excretory/secretory proteins (ES) probed with pooled serum from mice immunized with recombinant Ov-APR-1. ES products were also probed with normal mouse serum (NMS - pre-vaccination with APR-1) and did not reveal any bands.
