Abstract

Cross reactions of T. spiralis muscular larva antigens (TsMLA) against several sera from patients with other parasitic diseases by ELIB (enzyme-linked immunoblotting technique) were studied. The proteins of 31-100 KDa were recognized by sera of two cases of acute schistosomiasis, while proteins of 44/45, 51/53, 62/64 and 100 KDa were recognized by sera of 11 cases of chronic schistosomiasis. The proteins of 60 KDa showed varied cross reactions against sera of five kinds of patients with other parasitic diseases (filariasis, hookworm diseases, paragonimiasis, ascariasis and clonorchiasis). Only the proteins of 45 KDa were recognized by six of fifteen cases of normal human sera. All of > 29 KDa proteins were recognized by sera of rabbit infected by T. spiralis. It is suggested that there were many antigens in Trichinellen muscular larva which shared in common with several other parasites. The cross reactions of TsMLA against Schistosoma japonicum may be differentiated on the positive reaction bands of 44/45, 51/53, 62/64 and 100 KDa proteins which was specific to the chronic schistosomiasis using the TsMLA by means of ELIB.
