Fig 5. Smmbd2/3 and Smcbx are broadly expressed in male and female schistosomes.

Fig 5

(A) Expression of Smmbd2/3 and Smcbx in male somatic tissues, (B) testes and (C) ovaries relative to Smhistone H2B. Both genes are broadly expressed in somatic tissues, including the histone H2B+ neoblasts and in most cell types (histone H2B-) within the male and female germ line. Scale bars = 20 μm. Blue = DAPI. Magenta and green = pseudocoloured antisense RNA probes for Smmbd2/3, Smcbx and Smhistone H2B. White = co-localisation of two RNA probes. Where illustrated, delineated areas (dashed white boxes) are magnified in the insets (solid white boxes).
