The tegument (outer surface) of Schistosoma mansoni and other trematodes is in intimate contact with the host and plays an important role in host-parasite interactions. It is a complex structure that contains hundreds of proteins implicated in a variety of functions, although, so far, only a few proteins have been well characterized. Indeed, a few of these proteins have been shown to be effective vaccine and diagnostic candidates against S. mansoni and other schistosomes, and so the proteomic characterization of tegumental molecules could open new avenues for the development of novel control and surveillance strategies to combat schistosomiasis. Here, we describe the step by step isolation of tegumental proteins from the different tegument compartments using a biotinylation approach, as well as the materials and reagents needed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002853 Chromatography, Liquid Chromatographic techniques in which the mobile phase is a liquid. Liquid Chromatography
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012550 Schistosoma mansoni A species of trematode blood flukes of the family Schistosomatidae. It is common in the Nile delta. The intermediate host is the planorbid snail. This parasite causes schistosomiasis mansoni and intestinal bilharziasis. Schistosoma mansonus,mansonus, Schistosoma
D013194 Staining and Labeling The marking of biological material with a dye or other reagent for the purpose of identifying and quantitating components of tissues, cells or their extracts. Histological Labeling,Staining,Histological Labelings,Labeling and Staining,Labeling, Histological,Labelings, Histological,Stainings
D015801 Helminth Proteins Proteins found in any species of helminth. Helminth Protein,Protein, Helminth,Proteins, Helminth
D053719 Tandem Mass Spectrometry A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection. Mass Spectrometry-Mass Spectrometry,Mass Spectrometry Mass Spectrometry,Mass Spectrometry, Tandem
D019921 Biotinylation Incorporation of biotinyl groups into molecules. Biotinylations
D040901 Proteomics The systematic study of the complete complement of proteins (PROTEOME) of organisms. Peptidomics
