Schistosoma Egg Antigen Induces Oncogenic Alterations in Human Prostate Cells

Figure 5

schSEA diminishes nuclei condensation in PNT2 cells: (a) negative control, (b) 6.25 μg/ml schSEA, (c) 12.5 μg/ml schSEA, and (d) serum-fed (positive control). Condensed and morphologically altered nuclei indicated by arrows. Cells were stained with Hoechst 33258 dye and nuclei visualized with fluorescence microscope (magnification 40x) (Olympus DP 72, Japan).
