Abstract
A simple and rapid method for purifying merozoites of Theileria sergenti from infected bovine erythrocytes was developed. Infected erythrocytes were lysed by the use of a cytolytic toxin produced by Aeromonas hydrophila and the lysate was subjected to ultracentrifugation in a Percoll discontinuous density gradient. Pure and morphologically intact merozoites free of erythrocyte membrane were recovered from a band formed at the interface of 40% and 60% (by vol.) Percoll solutions. In this merozoite fraction, contamination of erythrocyte membrane proteins was not detected as examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.Entities:
