Protein Analysis of Strongyloides venezuelensis by Two-Dimensional Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis

Abstract

Infective larvae, larvae in the lung and adult-stage worms in the small intestine of Strongyloides venezuelensis were analysed for protein by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The infective larvae were differentiated from the other two stages of parasite with 13 stage-specific spots, whereas the larvae in the lung and the adult-stage worms were identical to each other in spot patterns except for 6 spots.
