Title: [Immunocytochemical localization of two facilitated glucose transporters of Schistosoma mansoni in the tegument of Schistosoma japonicum].
Abstract: To observe the distribution of Schistosoma mansoni glucose transport proteins, SGTP1 and SGTP4, in the tegument of Schistosoma japonicum.The rapidly frozen fixation technique and ultracryomicrotomy were adopted for preparing ultrathin cryosections of S. japonicum. Anti-SGTP1 and anti-SGTP4 antibodies were used to localize the corresponding antigens in the tegument of adult S. japonicum by immunocytochemical technique.SGTP1 was localized on the basal membrane of the tegument and its infoldings, SGTP4 was localized on the apical membrane of the tegument and its invaginations of S. japonicum.The same localization for SGTP 1 and SGTP4 in the tegument of S. japonicum and S. mansoni exhibited apparent homology between SGTPs of the two schistosomes.
