IMMUNOCHEMICAL STUDY OF THE ANTIGENS OF TRICHINELLA SPIRALIS: I. IDENTIFICATION AND ENUMERATION OF ANTIGENS

Abstract
Antigenic analyses of extracts of Trichinella spiralis larvae were done using Immunoelectrophoresis as the principal analytical method. Eleven electrophoretically distinct antigens were identified in buffered saline extracts. Different numbers of antigens (but not more than 11) were found in other preparations, but these gave reactions of complete immunological identity with antigens in the saline extract.
