Fig. 3From: Intracellular localization of vitellogenin receptor mRNA and protein during oogenesis of a parthenogenetic tick, Haemaphysalis longicornisLocalization of HlVgR protein in the ovary of H. longicornis. Positive signals are displayed in yellow color in the ovarian sections from unfed to engorgement periods (a) and from 4 days after engorgement to oviposition periods (b). Stage I or II oocytes at unfed to engorgement periods were observed in areas surrounded by dashed circles. Abbreviations: PC, phase contrast; I, stage I oocyte; II, stage II oocyte; III, stage III oocyte; IV, stage IV oocyte; V, stage V oocyte. Scale-bars: 50 µmBack to article page
