Abstract
The use of protective monoclonal antibodies has enabled us to demonstrate antigenic community between a 38-kDa schistosomula surface molecule and a 115-kDa component derived from adult worms. Injection of adult worms in rats also led to the production of antibodies specific for the 38-kDa antigen, suggesting that the 115-kDa adult worm molecule could act as an inducer of the protective immune response raised against young invading parasites.Entities:
