The hemolytic activity of Trypanosoma congolense appears to be due to the presence of free fatty acids generated by the action of phospholipase A on endogenous phosphatidyl choline. Some lysolecithin also contributes to the lytic activity. Trypanosoma lewisi, being devoid of phospholipase A, does not generate free fatty acids and is therefore non-hemolytic.
刚果锥虫的溶血活性似乎归因于磷脂酶A作用于内源性磷脂酰胆碱所产生的游离脂肪酸的存在。一些溶血卵磷脂也有助于溶血活性。由于没有磷脂酶A,路氏锥虫不会产生游离脂肪酸,因此不具有溶血作用。
