Figure 1. Proliferation of somatic cells in adult schistosomes.

Figure 1

a–b, EdU labeling in (a) male and (b) female parasites.

c–d, Distribution of mesenchymal PSCs in (c) male and (d) female parasites. Phalloidin staining for actin shows male enteric and dorso-ventral muscles and female enteric and uterine muscles.

e, Strategy to characterize PSC morphology.

f, The morphology of EdU− and EdU+ cells. Arrowhead indicates a nucleolus.

g, FISH for histone h2b with EdU labeling. Arrowhead indicates a cytoplasmic projection.

(a–d, g) are confocal projections; (a–b) are derived from tiled stacks. Scale bars: (a–b) 500 μm, (c–d) 20 μm, (f–g) 5 μm.
