Figure 5. Recognition of recombinant Sj-TSP-2e by human sera.

Figure 5

I: ELISA IgG screen of 72 sera collected from positive schistosomiasis japonica patients and 24 normal human sera (negative controls) probed by protein preparation from S. japonicum adult worms (SWAP), recombinant tag protein thioredoxin (Thio) and Sj-TSP-2e. II. Panel a: SDS-PAGE of soluble and insoluble protein extracted from adult S. japonicum and recombinant Sj-TSP-2e. Panels b and c: Western blot analysis with pooled sera randomly selected from confirmed schistosomiasis japonica patients (nā€Š=ā€Š15) and pooled sera from negative control subjects (nā€Š=ā€Š15) from northern China. Lane M, protein markers; lanes 1 and lane 2, soluble and insoluble proteins from adult S. japonicum; lane 3, Sj-TSP-2e (arrowed); lane 4, thioredoxin tag (Thi) (arrowed); lane 5, Sj-TSP-2e expressed in Pichia yeast (arrowed).
