Abstract

Fractionation by chromatography on Sephadex G-200 of a saline extract of Cysticercus cellulosae scolex antigen yielded three distinct fractions associated with distinct peaks. These fractions were analysed by double immunodiffusion (DID) and immunoelectrophoresis (IEP). The three peaks gave five, four and three antigenic determinants, respectively, by DID with homologous hyperimmune rabbit serum. However, the same serum gave nine antigenic determinants of scolex antigen by DID and 11 components by IEP. The IEP demonstrated seven and five antigenic components in the first two peaks. The first peak gave a stronger reaction in indirect haemagglutination than the others. There were common antigenic components in C cellulosae and C tenuicollis antigens.
