p43 is associated with the longitudinal muscle of the parasite and the intestinal mucus and the surrounding epithelial matrix of the host. a Western blot of cecal and colonic mucus samples from naive (N), Trichuris muris-infected (d35) mice, and T. muris whole excretome/secretome (E/S) probed with anti-p43 antibody. b Cecal sections from infected mice stained with anti-p43 and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, dihydrochloride (DAPI) (merged), demonstrating staining within the worm (white asterisk) and extracellularly within the host intestinal lumen (red asterisk). c, d Transverse section of a worm taken from cecal sections from infected mice stained with anti-p43. d p43 staining within the worm (merged with bright field). e Transverse section of an adult T. muris hybridized with a p43 Cy5 probe (red) and myosin fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) probe (green); a merged image is shown, counterstained with DAPI. f, g Electron micrograph of adult T. muris stained with anti-p43 and colloidal gold particle-conjugated secondary antibodies. (Cut.= cuticle; LMF = longitudinal muscle fibers; white asterisk = within the worm; red asterisk = within the host intestinal lumen)
