Vaccination with Enzymatically Cleaved GPI-Anchored Proteins from Schistosoma mansoni Induces Protection against Challenge Infection
Figure 6
Histological analysis of hepatic tissue from mice vaccinated with GPI-anchored proteins. Animals were sacrificed and their livers were washed in PBS and stored in formaldehyde until sectioning and staining with Picrosirius. (a) Representative sample from PBS control group. (c) Representative sample from mice vaccinated with GPI-anchored proteins. ((b) and (d)) Images were edited using image software to highlight in red the area of fibrosis. Images were capture in 40x objective lens and they are representative of two independent biological experiments.
