ISOLATION OF SPECIFIC ANTIGENS FROM LARVAL AND ADULT STAGES OF SCHISTOSOMES,
Abstract
This report deals with the immunochemical characteristics of the water extracts of S. mansoni (cercarial and adults), mainly the overall antigenic potential and stability under various physico-chemical conditions (heat inactivation, effect of freezing and thawing, lyophilization and storage); partial fractionation and isolation of a number of protein antigens from cercarial and adult forms and their reactivity with anti-schistosome sera from natural human or experimental animal infections, crossreactions between schistosomes and Trichinella antigen-antibody systems, the variable interactions between antibody and antigens depending upon the phase of the infection and the type of antigens used.
