Distribution of Sjp40 and Sjp90α in adult S. japonicum. Immunolocalization of Sjp40 and Sjp90α in the worms of S. japonicum. Adult male and female worm sections were labelled with mouse anti-rSjp40 and anti-rSjp90α antibody coupled with Alexa-Fluor 647 goat anti-mouse IgG (red), DAPI was used to stain for nuclei and the samples were analyzed using a Zeiss 780 NLO laser. Negative control sections of the worm were incubated with normal mouse serum. Scale-bars: 100 μm. White arrows indicate the Sjp90α expressed in the tegument of worms.
