[Studies on antigenic homology between Schistosoma japonicum and Oncomelania hupensis hupensis by indirect immunoperoxidase technique].
Adult Schistosoma japonicum worms and Oncomelania hupensis hupensis tissue sections were employed as antigens in the studies of anti-O. h. hupensis rabbit serum and anti-S. japonicum adult worm rabbit serum by indirect immunoperoxidase assay. The result indicated that the most prominent peroxidase reaction was presented in the adult worm sections and the head-foot and liver sections of O. h. hupensis. These suggested the possible presence of antigenic homology between Schistosoma japonicum and Oncomelania hupenis hupensis. (Figs. 1-7).
