VIVβ8 immunostaining controls.
Representative images of T. vivax bloodstream-form, formaldehyde-fixed cells either probed with pre-immune (pre) or post-immunization (post) antisera from either rabbit or mouse hosts vaccinated with VIVβ8. Only post-immunisation antisera display antibody binding. Scale bars; 5 μm.
