Salivary proteins of Triatoma infestans recognised by guinea pig sera from the low exposure group. The figure represents a typical immunoblot of one out of five guinea pigs from the low exposure group (exposed to five adult T. infestans per feeding event). Triatoma infestans Chile strain saliva and guinea pig sera exposed to the Chile strain were used for the Western blot. The numbers at the foot of each lane indicate the weeks of exposure of the guinea pigs to T. infestans. Serum from guinea pigs prior to exposure to bug bites was used as a negative control (NC) in the experiments to demonstrate the specificity of the IgG-anti-saliva T. infestans responses. Arrowhead marks the 79 kDa antigen.
