Paramphistomum cervi is one of the most common trematode parasites infecting ruminants across the globe. The current study was carried out to identify the somatic antigens present in P. cervi using SDS PAGE. The electrophoretic pattern of somatic proteins of P. cervi under reducing conditions in 12% SDS revealed the presence of several bands with the molecular weights ranging between 10-150 kDa. The major bands appeared at 10, 18, 23, 40, 50, 75 kDa. The proteins can be subjected to further experimental analysis for detection of their possible role in serodiagnosis or vaccine development.
