SDS-PAGE analysis of Dirofilaria immitis extracts demonstrated the complexity of somatic protein component of adult male similar to that of adult female worm. Western blot analysis showed six major peptide bands of 85, 66, 42, 20, 16.2 and 14.5 kDa recognized in the sera of infected dogs. Western blotting sera from dogs with Dirofilaria immitis infection suggest that antigenic components in the low molecular weight region may be related to the anti-parasitic mechanism of the host.
Résumé
L’analyse en SDS-page des extraits de Dirofilaria immitis démontre une complexité des protéines somatiques des mâles adultes semblable à celle des vers femelles. L’analyse en Western Blot de ces protéines avec des sérums de chiens infectés a identifié six bandes principales de 85, 66, 42, 20, 16,2 et 14,5 kDa. Les résultats obtenus par cette technique utilisant des sérums de chiens infectés par la filaire suggèrent que des composants de faible poids moléculaire pourraient être liés aux mécanismes anti parasitaires induits chez l’hôte.
