RNAi-altered gene expression in larval schistosomes.
Confocal fluorescence micrograph of two in vitro-derived primary sporocysts of Schistosoma mansoni showing the somatic distribution of immunoreactive elongation factor 1a (EF1a) protein (green). Larvae are counterstained for actin (red) and DNA (blue) using Alexa-phalloidin and Hoechst dye, respectively. EF1a was one of 32 genes selected for larval phenotypic profiling by RNA interference (see article by de Moraes Mourão, et al. doi:10.1371/journal.pntd.0000502).
