Abstract excerpt
In vitro labeled polypeptides secreted by schistosome-susceptible and -resistant Biomphalaria glabrata were tested for their ability to bind the surface tegument of Schistosoma mansoni primary (= mother) sporocysts. Out of a complex pattern of SDS-PAGE-separated hemocyte polypeptides, only two (19 and 46 kDa) bound to sporocysts. The 19-kDa polypeptide consistently bound to both live and fixed sporocysts,...
