Figure 3From: In vitro and in vivo effects of 3-bromopyruvate against Echinococcus metacestodesSEM of E. multilocularis metacestodes incubated in vitro with 3-BrPA. A Metacestodes incubated in culture medium containing DMSO served as controls. Note that the metacestode has a typical structure with an intact germinal layer. LL: laminated layer, GL: germinal layer. B, C The metacestodes incubated with 40 μM 3-BrPA for 120 h show the germinal layer detached from the laminated layer and the loss of cellular integrity of the germinal layer.Back to article page
