Anti-Sm-TSP-2/5B antibodies bind to parasite-derived Sm-TSP-2.
Immunofluorescence micrograph showing adult male Schistosoma mansoni sections probed with either (A) rabbit anti-TSP-2/5B serum or (B) naïve rabbit serum followed by goat anti-rabbit IgG-Cy3. Both sections were also stained with Alexa-Fluor 488 (green staining of actin filaments) and DAPI (blue staining of nuclei). All images are shown at original magnification ×63.
