Serum protein fractions as determined by cellulose actate electrophoresis in schistosoma mattheei infested sheep.

Studies on schistosomiasis. 10. Development of Schistosoma mattheei in sheep infested with equal numbers of male and female cercariae.

VAN RENSBURG, L. J. & VANWYK, J. A., 1981. Studies on schistosomiasis. 10. Development of Schistosoma mattheei in sheep infested with equal numbers of male and female cercariae. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 48, 7786 (1981). The development of the female Schistosoma mattheei was significantly higher than that of the male (P<O,OOOI) in 12 sheep when each was exposed to equal numb...

Further observations on the electrophoretic characterization of South African Schistosoma mattheei and S. haematobium.

Eleven enzymes, which were used to compare South African S. mattheei and S. haematobium in a former study, were employed to study intraspecific variation within S. mattheei, using starch gel electrophoresis and iso-electric focusing where resolution in starch gel was poor. Acid phosphatase varied intraspecifically within S. mattheei in that the most southern population differed from the norther...

Phenotypic differences in Schistosoma mattheei ova from populations sympatric and allopatric to S. haematobium.

Schistosoma mattheei ova were collected from cattle in different localities in South Africa and after hatching, miracidia were used to infest Bulinus (Physopsis) globosus. Cercariae harvested from these snails were used to infest the definitive host Praomys (Mastomys) coucha and eggs from the resulting female S. mattheei were collected. These ova were compared with a Schistosoma haematobium X S...

Comparison of the serum Protein fractions of the developing chickens embryo by the technique of Starch-gel Electrophoresis

Rapid cellulose acetate electrophoresis. I. Serum proteins.

A method of electrophoresis utilizing cellulose acetate is described wherein quantitation of serum protein fractions by densitometry is accomplished within 2 hr. of initiation of the procedure. The densitometer was found to have a linear response to amido black dye. Albumin and y-globulin demonstrated equal dye-binding characteristics. Combined with the absence of albumin trailing, this has aff...
