[Immunocytochemical localization of two facilitated glucose transporters of Schistosoma mansoni in the tegument of Schistosoma japonicum]
Abstract
Aim: To observe the distribution of Schistosoma mansoni glucose transport proteins, SGTP1 and SGTP4, in the tegument of Schistosoma japonicum.
Methods: The rapidly frozen fixation technique and ultracryomicrotomy were adopted for preparing ultrathin cryosections of S. japonicum. Anti-SGTP1 and anti-SGTP4 antibodies were used to localize the corresponding antigens in the tegument of adult S. japonicum by immunocytochemical technique.
Results: SGTP1 was localized on the basal membrane of the tegument and its infoldings, SGTP4 was localized on the apical membrane of the tegument and its invaginations of S. japonicum.
Conclusion: The same localization for SGTP 1 and SGTP4 in the tegument of S. japonicum and S. mansoni exhibited apparent homology between SGTPs of the two schistosomes.
