Binding of anti-rLulo antibodies to Lutzomyia longipalpis midgut epithelium. To investigate the distribution of GalNAc-displaying molecules across the midgut, midguts of Lu. longipalpis were fixed and incubated with either anti-rLulo sera (a) or preimunne sera (b) and labelled with FITC-anti rabbit IgG. Both groups of midguts were stained with similar intensity, but only in guts preincubated with anti-rLulo serum we observed staining of typical spherical/round epithelial cells, which are located on the luminal surface of midgut [17]
