The distribution of cholinesterase activity in the microfilaria of the nocturnally periodic Wuchereria bancrofti has been described. Using histochemical methods, cholinesterase activity has been demonstrated in the amphids (Mundgebilde), phasmids (Schwanzgebilde), nerve-ring, excretory and anal vesicles of the microfilaria. It has been found that the enzyme activity disappeared completely after treatment with the specific cholinesterase inhibitor eserine. Evidence is presented that the greater amount of the cholinesterase activity detected is related to acetylcholinesterase and the functional significance of the enzyme in the enzyme reactive structures is discussed.
已描述了夜现周期型班氏吴策线虫微丝蚴中胆碱酯酶活性的分布情况。采用组织化学方法，已证实在微丝蚴的头感器（感觉器结构）、尾感器（尾端结构）、神经环、排泄囊和肛囊中有胆碱酯酶活性。已发现用特异性胆碱酯酶抑制剂毒扁豆碱处理后，酶活性完全消失。有证据表明，检测到的大量胆碱酯酶活性与乙酰胆碱酯酶有关，并讨论了该酶在酶反应性结构中的功能意义。
