The sheaths of Brugia microfilariae: isolation and composition.

Abstract

Burgia malayi and B. pahangi microfilariae were isolated from the blood of infected Mastomys natalensis, and were exsheathed by freezing, thawing and agitation. Pure sheaths were obtained by a filtration procedure. The sheaths were found to contain about 95 mol% of amino acids, with proline, glutamic acid/glutamine, alanine, cysteine/cystine and glycine being the major components, and 5 mol% of carbohydrates, notably (N-acetyl)galactosamine, but no (N-acetyl)glucosamine.
