Studies on species specificity of proteins in Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum.

The separate identity of A. lumbricoides and A. suum was confirmed by means of the disc electrophoresis method in that differences were established in the protein profile of somatic and ribosomal proteins. In addition differences were found in the representation of lipoproteins, glycoproteins, and in the activity of LDH, SDH, peroxidase, esterase and alkalic phosphatase.
