Figure 3From: Tick capillary feeding for the study of proteins involved in tick-pathogen interactions as potential antigens for the control of tick infestation and pathogen infectionImmunofluorescence analysis of tick tissues. Representative images of imunofluorescence analysis of R. microplus engorged female tick tissues. Tick salivary gland (a-c), gut (d-f) and ovary (g-i) tissue sections were stained with rabbit anti-tick protein antibodies (green, Alexa Green 488; (a, d, g)) and DNA was stained with DAPI (blue; (b, e, h)). Merged images are also shown (c, f, i). (A) Tick tissue sections were stained with anti-SILK antibodies. (B) Tick tissue sections were stained with anti-TROSPA antibodies. (C) Tick tissue sections were stained with anti-SUB antibodies. (D) Tick tissue sections were stained with preimmune control serum. Scale bars, 50 μm.Back to article page
