Figure 4. Immunoblotting of protein extracts from S. mansoni stages using anti-rSmCD59.1 or anti-rSmCD59.2 polyclonal antibodies.

Figure 4

Protein extracts (20 µg) from different S. mansoni stages: EGG (eggs), MIR (miracidia), CER (cercariae), SCH (in vitro 7-day-old schistosomula), ♂ (male adult worm), ♀ (female adult worm) and P (positive control, 100 ng of rSmCD59.1) were analyzed using (A) anti-rSmCD59.1 antiserum; or (B) anti-rSmCD59.2 antiserum, P (positive control, 100 ng of rSmCD59.2 expressed in E. coli). Extracts of stripped worms (Strip) and Tegument (Teg) of adult worms were probed with (C) anti-rSmCD59.1 or (D) anti-rSmCD59.2 antisera. Insoluble (Ins) and soluble (Sol) protein extracts of stripped worms; (Tsm) enriched tegument surface membranes fraction; (Twm) tegument extract without surface membranes. Positions of molecular mass standard are indicated.
