H and 13C n.m.r. studies of serum from normal and Echinococcus multilocularis infected jirds.
The major components of the 13C and high field region of the 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectra of normal and Echinococcus multilocularis infected jirds were identified and compared. Substantial depletion of the glucose and fatty acid chains from lower density lipoproteins was detected in sera from infected animals. In addition, this proliferating metacestode markedly changed the appearance of the spectral region recently assigned to N-acetyl protons of carbohydrate side chains of N-acetylated glycoproteins.
