Schistosoma mansoni is a parasitic worm that lives in the blood vessels of its host. We mapped the S. mansoni tegumental outer-surface structure proteome by 1D SDS-PAGE and LC-MS/MS and an EST-database from the ongoing genome-sequencing project. We identified 740 proteins of which 43 were tegument-specific. Many of these proteins show no homology to any nonschistosomal protein, demonstrating that the schistosomal outer-surface comprises specific and unique proteins, likely to be critical for parasite survival.
曼氏血吸虫是一种寄生于宿主血管中的寄生虫。我们通过一维SDS-PAGE和LC-MS/MS以及来自正在进行的基因组测序项目的EST数据库,绘制了曼氏血吸虫体表外表面结构蛋白质组图谱。我们鉴定出740种蛋白质,其中43种是体表特异性的。这些蛋白质中的许多与任何非血吸虫蛋白质都没有同源性,这表明血吸虫的外表面包含特定且独特的蛋白质,这些蛋白质可能对寄生虫的生存至关重要。
