ELISA for Schistosoma haematobium SWAP (soluble adult worm antigen preparation) and SEA (soluble egg antigen) reflect equivalent initial parasite burdens in both genotypes of the host mice but higher levels of mature infections in WT Mta-1(+/+) mice. (A) Bar plot showing results from ELISA against S. haematobium worm antigen using sera collected from Mta-1 WT and −/− (= KO, knockout) mice at increasing times after infection. (B) Bar plot showing the results from ELISA against S. haematobium egg antigen using sera collected from Mta-1 WT and KO at various time points during the course of infection. Data are presented as mean ± SD.
