STUDIES ON THE ANTIGENIC STRUCTURE OF TRICHINELLA SPIRALIS LARVAE

N. A. Labzoffsky, E. Kuitunen, L. P. Morrissey, József Hamvas

Open publisher page 16 citations

Abstract

By means of physical and chemical procedures seven antigenic fractions have been isolated from Trichinella spiralis larvae, as determined by complement fixation. Some evidence is presented to indicate that at least some of the isolated fractions are antigenically distinct and that antibodies in Trichinella-infested rabbit develop at different times for different fractions. Importance of using a properly selected antigen in serodiagnosis of trichinosis is discussed.
