Identification of anticoagulant activities in the salivary glands of the soft tick, Ornithodoros savignyi.

A R Gaspar1, J C Crause, A W Neitz.   

Abstract

Salivary gland extracts of the sand tampan, Ornithodoros savignyi, prolonged the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) significantly in a concentration-dependent manner. There was also a pronounced inhibition of human activated factor Xa (fXa) by salivary gland extracts. The salivary gland extracts inhibited chromogenic assays specific for both fXa and thrombin. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of the salivary gland proteins followed by elution of specific areas or bands from a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)-membrane, showed that various anticoagulant factors are present when screened by means of the APTT assay. The most active component was associated with a band of M(r) of 14 kDa. Partial purification of this component was achieved using isoelectric focusing (IEF) and size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
