Immunolocalization and Transcription levels of Eg-IAP and Eg-BIRP in E. granulosus. (A) Fluorescence immunohistochemistry analysis of Eg-IAP and Eg-BIRP at different stages of E. granulosus life cycle. rEg-IAP/rEg-BIRP were localized on the protoscolex, fertile/infertile cyst walls, and 18-day strobilated worm using specific anti-rEg-IAP/anti-rEg-BIRP rabbit sera IgG or pre-immune rabbit sera IgG. Abbreviations: H, hooks; LL, laminated layer; GL, germinal layer; Teg, tegument; PR, parenchymal region. Note, Fluorescence-labeled regions were marked with arrows. (B) qRT-PCR analysis of transcription levels of Eg-IAP and Eg-BIRP at PSCs and 18-day strobilated worms stages. Data are presented as the means ± SD (n = 3). Statistically significant differences between PSCs and 18-day strobilated worms were determined using Student’s t-tests (*p < 0.05).
