Common host antigens in laboratory rats infected with the metacestodes of Taenia crassiceps
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2009
Abstract
Laboratory rats were infected by intra-peritoneal injection with the metacestodes of Taenia crassiceps. A soluble extract was prepared from the metacestodes removed from the peritoneal cavity of the rats. Doublediffusion, immuno-electrophoresis and fluorescent labelled antibody staining techniques were used. The extract tested against rabbit anti-normal rat serum was found to contain an antigen common to both the host and the parasite.
