Identification of TGFβ Type-I and -II receptors by RT-PCR (A) and by Western bl.ot (B). (A) Expression of TGFβ Type-I and -II receptors in Taenia solium (Ts) and T. crassiceps (Tc) cysticerci. Amplified TGFβ Type-I and -II receptors obtained by RT-PCR from T. solium and T. crassiceps cysticerci are shown. A 50-pb ladder was use as DNA molecular Weight Marker; fragments amplified are 77 pb for TGFβ Type-I receptor, 170 pb for TGFβ Type-II receptor; actin beta-gamma (169 pb) was used as a positive control. (B) Western blot for the identification of putative TGFβ receptors in protein extracts from T. crassiceps cysticerci (T.c), T. solium (T.s), and human PMBCs (H), using polyclonal anti-human TGFβRI and TGFβRII antibodies. A rabbit anti-mouse IgG was included as a control. The white space in the human sample (H) for both TGFβ Type-I receptor TGFβ Type-II receptors mean that the blot was composed. The original blots are shown in Supplementary Figure 4.
