Inhibition of sporozoite invasion in vitro by anti- Eimeria scFvs. (a) Analyses of Eimeria-infected cells by flow cytometry. Left panel, no infection; middle panel, infected cells (negative control); right panel, infection with sporozoites preincubated with inhibitory scFv AB28 at a concentration of 5.2 μM. In this example, 78% inhibition was observed. (b) Comparison of the inhibitory activity of scFvs AA19 and AB28. (c) Dose-dependent inhibition of sporozoite invasion in vitro by scFv AB28. (d) Comparison of anti-sporozoite activity in vitro of scFv fragments (10 μg) produced in bacteria or in tobacco leaves. Control, buffer alone.
