The identification of S. mansoni BCPs (stably found in both v7 and v10 genome assemblies) was performed using a bioinformatic approach previously described. Briefly, a BLASTp search was performed to identify S. mansoni proteins (Smps) sharing high similarity (E value < 1 x 10 -5 ) to representative H. sapiens BCPs derived from literature data. The results of this method were
