Antigens present in sera from Fasciola hepatica-infected goats were partially characterized by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates obtained by counterimmunoelectrophoresis. Agar containing the 2 immunoprecipitin lines, agar containing no precipitin lines, a crude extract of F. hepatica, and normal rabbit IgG were assayed. The electrophoretic pattern of 1 precipitin line showed, apart from the light and heavy chains of IgG and other faint bands, 2 prominent polypeptides of about 70 and 85 kDa. The other precipitin line showed a similar pattern, but with the 70-kDa band absent.
