Localisation of SMIPP-Cs in S. scabiei var. hominis infected epidermal tissue by immuno-histochemistry. Series 1, 2 and 3 are serial histological sections of scabies mite infested human skin showing localised SMIPP-Ca, SMIPP-Cc and SMIPP-Ce proteins. a-c S. scabiei var. hominis mites within human skin burrows. d, e Mite faecal pellets. a Probed with anti-human IgG (mite gut marker). b, d Probed with pre-immune mouse sera (negative control). c, e Probed with SMIPP-C specific antibodies. Red staining indicates antibody binding to protein. Scale-bars: 50 μm
