title: Biochemical characterisation of human isolates of Blastocystis hominis.
abstract: SDS-PAGE and iso-enzyme analysis of 11 human isolates of Blastocystis hominis revealed at least two variants with different polypeptide patterns and two zymodemes, respectively. This is the first iso-enzyme and the second protein analysis to indicate strain differences in B. hominis.
