Interrelations immuno-taxonomiques de T. brucei, T. rbodesiense et T. gambiense (1)
Département de Protozoologie, Institut de Médecine Tropicale Prince Léopold, Nationalestraat 155, B-2000 Antwerpen, Service d’Immunologie et de Biologie Parasitaire, Faculté de Médecine, F. 59, LilleInstitut National de Recherches Vétérinaires, Groeselenberg 99, B-1180, Bruxelles, Belgique.
Les structures antigéniques hydrosolubles de cinq souches représentatives de Trypanosoma brucei, T. rhodesiense et T. gambiense ont été analysées en immuno-électrophorèse et en double diffusion au moyen d'hyper-immunsérums objectivant un minimum de vingt- cinq composants antigéniques.
T. brucei et T. rhodesiense possèdent la même structure antigénique. Cette structure diffère significativement de la structure de T. gambiense.
Ces résultats suggèrent l’existence de deux espèces distinctes (T. brucei et T. gambiense) au sein du complexe brucei.
Abstract
The saline soluble antigenic structures from five known strains of Trypanosoma brucei, T. rhodesiense and T. gambiense have been determined by means of immuno-electrophoretic and double diffusion techniques. The presence of at least twenty-five antigenic components has been demonstrated.
T. brucei and T. rhodesiense share a similar antigenic structure. Unlike previous trypanosomes, T. gambiense shows a significantly different antigenic structure.
The results indicate that two distinct species (e.g. T. brucei and T. gambiense) exist in the brucei complex.
