Fig 1. Native AsHb is recognized by human IgG4 antibodies in plasma samples from individuals living in an A. lumbricoides endemic area.

Fig 1

(A) The recognition of AsHb by human IgG4 antibodies on Western blot; lane 1 = conjugate control, lane 2–4 = Non-endemic controls, lane 5–10 = endemic plasma samples without visible parasite eggs in the stool, lane 11–17 = endemic plasma samples from individuals with A. lumbricoides eggs in the stool. (B) ELISA OD values for the same endemic plasma samples and 10 non-endemic plasma samples. The number next to each point on the dot plot corresponds with the lane numbers for the Western blot. The OD values of the 10 non-endemic individuals were used to calculate the cutoff (0.380) indicated on this plot by a dotted line.
