Detection of IPSE/alpha-1 and basophils in schistosome egg granulomas. Sections of S. mansoni-infected murine liver were stained for IPSE/alpha-1 (anti-IPSE/alpha-1; A) and basophils (anti-mMCP-8; B). Depicted are two magnification, each. Scale bars are 200 μm for 100x magnification and 50 μm for 400x magnification. (a,b) Show small granulomas with presumably immature eggs without IPSE/alpha-1 production (Aa, left box, Ab) and with basophils detected near the egg (Ba,Bb). (c,d) Show advanced granulomas with strong IPSE/alpha-1 staining in the subshell area and outside the eggs (Ac right box, Ad) and with basophils detected mainly in the outer rim of the granuloma (Bc,d). (e,f) Show negative controls without the respective primary antibodies.
