Nippostrongylus brasiliensis and Ascaridia galli: characterization of peroxisomes.

Abstract:

:A method is described for the isolation of peroxisomes from mitochondria-enriched fractions obtained from both species of nematodes. The distributions of these organelles are characterized after density gradient centrifugation in sucrose or Percoll by urate oxidase and catalase activities. The possession of peroxisomes may be part of an important defence mechanism in parasites.
