Expression profiles of the 10 S. japonicum antigens in the four developmental stages. (a) The transcriptional profiles of the antigen candidates. The data were extracted from an available next-generation schistosome microarray dataset (Cai et al., 2017). The column represents the mean of normalized fluorescent intensity value. (b) Heatmap showing the relative transcriptional levels of the 10 S. japonicum antigen candidates in: E, eggs; C, cercariae; S, hepatic schistosomula; A, adult worms.
