Immunolocalization of TmGP50 in the larval and adult stages of T. multiceps. The green fluorescent colour shows the location of TmGP50 protein. TmGP50 protein in the adult tapeworm (a-f) and coenurus (g-j) was immunofluorescently-labelled using specific anti-rTmGP50 IgG (a, c, e, g and i) or negative serum (b, d, f, h and j), followed by FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG. a and b represent cephalomeres of adult tapeworm; c and d represent immature segments of adult tapeworm; e and f represent mature segments of adult tapeworm; g and h represent cephalomeres of coenurus; i and j represent the cystic wall of coenurus. The magnification of all the images is × 100. Abbreviations: MT, microthrix; DC, distal cytoplasm; PC, perinuclear cytoplasm; TZ, tegument zone; PZ, parenchymatous zone; E, eggs; ZS, zone of scolex; ZN, zone of neck; M, microtriches; OCW, outer layer of cystic wall; MCW, middle layer of cystic wall; ICW, inner layer of cystic wall. Scale bars: 100 μm
