Fig 8. The susceptibility of B. straminea to S. mansoni.

Fig 8

(A) Selection procedures of susceptible RBS. (B) Positive rates of B. glabrata, different generations (F0, F1, F2) of RBS and BBS infected by S. mansoni. (C) Cercariae (top), adult worms (middle) and HE stained pathological sections (mice liver) (down) of S. mansoni derived from both B. straminea and B. glabrata. (D) Analysis of differentiated expressed genes (DEGs) involved in the complementary system of BBS (black B. straminea) when comparing to F2RBS (F2 generation of selected red B. straminea). Left panel, expression levels (Log2FC) of DEGs involved in complementary system of BBS when comparing to RBS in transcriptome. Right panel, RT-PCR results of DEGs involved in complementary system of BBS when comparing to F2RBS. FREM: fibrinogen-related molecule. Bio-1: biomphalysin like protein 1, BPI-2: bactericidal permeability-increasing protein 2, Bio-2: biomphalysin like protein 2, MPEP: macrophage expressed protein.
