SDS-PAGE for foot proteins of Semisulcospira in Zhejiang Province / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the biochemical characters of the intra-species of Semisulcospira and importance of paragonimiasis transmission. Methods The foot proteins of six species of Semisulcospira in Zhejiang Province were studied and compared by SDS-PAGE. Results 17-20 protein bands were found with molecular weight 27-162 kDa. Two strong bands,93 kDa and 52 kDa, were the same among the six species of Semisulcospira. The similitude coefficient was 0.74-0.85. Conclusion Two strong bands,93 kDa and 52 kDa, would be the protein markers of Semisulcospira, which may be related to the transmission of paragonimiasis.[
