Electrophoretic profile of E. granulosus HF collected from sheep livers. HF (200 μg proteins) harvested from single fertile cyst of CE1 (A) and CE2 (B) stages were electrofocused on IPG strips (pH 6–11) and resolved by 15% SDS-PAGE. The gels were stained with CBB. The protein spots were subjected to in-gel trypsin digestion and processed with MALDI-TOF-MS. Proteins identified are marked by Arabic numbers (1–78) and are summarized in Table 1 and Additional file 2. Representative ultrasonographic images of CE1 and CE2 cysts are shown. M _r, molecular weights in kDa; pI, isoelectric point.
