Lung-stage expression of a major schistosome surface antigen
J Parasitol.
1983 Dec.
Abstract
The topographical expression of a glycoprotein of 180,000 molecular weight on the surface of lung-stage Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula was determined by immunofluorescence microscopy using a monoclonal antibody. Postfixation treatment with graded ethanols enhanced specific immunofluorescent staining of adult worms, and was required for detection of the antigen on the surfaces of lung-stage schistosomula. The epitope recognized by the monoclonal antibody was also present on the surfaces of adult Schistosoma haematobium, but not on those of Schistosoma japonicum.
