Abstract: | Comparison of antisera from sheep during primary infection and following vaccination and challenge with Trichostrongylus colubriformis, with antisera obtained following primary infection of high- and low-responder guinea pigs, failed to reveal different antigenic patterns in proteins separated from fourth stage larval extracts by two-dimensional electrophoresis and probed by the immunoblot technique.Generally, serum IgG reacted specifically with worm antigens of mol. wt greater than 94,000, whereas protection against challenge infection was elicited most effectively in the guinea pig by fractions in the 67,000–94,000 range.Most distinct separations of larval proteins by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were obtained by extraction of live larvae and the extracts used within 2–3 days. |
