Immunopathological Features Developing in the Mosquito Midgut after Feeding on Anopheles gambiae Mucin-1 / Interleukin-12 cDNA Immunized Mice

The mosquito midgut is the organ into which the blood meal passes and in which, within a peritrophic membrane secreted by the epithelium, the blood is retained during digestion and absorption. The mosquito midgut is lined with an actin filled microvilli that are exposed to the harsh environment of t...
