Antigenic analyses of the adult worms of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis by crossed immunoelectrophoresis. 1985

S Cavalan, and A Rhalem, and G Luffau, and P Pery

In order to identify and to characterize the antigens from Nippostrongylus brasiliensis which are involved in the in vitro blastogenesis of T cells from infected animals, we have established by crossed immunoelectrophoresis a two dimensional antigenic map of the adult worm homogenate. Polyclonal precipitating rabbit antiserum recognized 26 antigens including five enzymes in these homogenates. The antigenic enzymes, the precipitates of which are only stained by specific staining, are: aldolase, malic enzyme, acid phosphatase, peroxydase and cholinesterase. This antigenic map enable us to identify 26 antigens in adult worm homogenates and to compare them with those which will be contained in purification fractions from these homogenates or in homogenates from other parasites.

D009559 Nippostrongylus A genus of intestinal nematode parasites belonging to the superfamily HELIGMOSOMATOIDEA, which commonly occurs in rats but has been experimentally transmitted to other rodents and rabbits. Infection is usually through the skin. Rat Nematode,Nematode, Rat,Nematodes, Rat,Rat Nematodes
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
