A comparative analysis of various developmental stages of Schistosoma mansoni with respect to their protein composition.
The protein composition of Schistosoma mansoni was analysed by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide slab gel in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. A high degree of identity existed between protein patterns obtain from immature and adult parasites of the two sexes. Some stage-and sex-specific components were indentified and their possible origin discussed.
