Abstract:
Objective To find out the valuable early diagnostic antigen of Schistosoma japonicum. Methods The sera of rabbits were collected at different time after the rabbits were infected with cercariae of Schitosoma japonicum. The fractions of the soluble cercaria antigen (SCA), soluble adult worm antigen (AWA) and soluble egg antigen (SEA) were separated by SDS-PAGE and recognized by Western blotting with rabbits' sera of different time of post-infection. Results In Western blotting, the bands of 94, 48, 41, 40 kDa and 38 kDa of SCA appeared the earliest and were recognized by the rabbits sera of 2-week post-infection, the bands of 71 kDa and 23 kDa of SCA reacted with the rabbits sera of 3-week post-infection strongly. The bands of 71 kDa and 58 kDa of AWA appeared the earliest and were recognized by rabbits sera of 3-week post-infection. The bands of SEA reacted earliestly to the rabbits sera of 4-week post-infection were 270, 151, 73, 69, 50 kDa and 24 kDa. Conclusion The fraction antigens of 94, 71, 48, 41, 40, 38 kDa and 23 kDa of SCA, the fraction antigens of 71 kDa and 58 kDa of AWA and the fraction antigens of 270, 151, 73, 69, 50 kDa and 24 kDa of SEA could be recognized by sera of acute infected rabbits and might have potential early immuno-diagnosis value for schistosomiasis.
