Abstract:
:Several approaches were adopted for the disruption and removal of the tegumental surface from protoscoleces of the horse strain of the hydatid organism, Echinococcus granulosus. The effectiveness of each method and the purity of subsequent microthrix-enriched fractions obtained by differential centrifugation were evaluated by electron microscopy, by the amount of protein released and by the degree of enrichment of surface plasma membrane marker enzymes. Incubation in saponin for 10 min produced the purest microtriche preparation, but in low yield; freeze/thawing, incubation in Triton X-100 for 10 min or in saponin for 20 min produced fractions containing significant amounts of relatively pure microtriches, but mild homogenization was a poor method for surface disruption and subsequent isolation of microtriches. Phosphodiesterase, adenosine triphosphatase (total and ouabain-inhibited), leucine aminopeptidase and glutamyltransferase were active in the protoscoleces but none were enriched in any of the microthrix fractions. In contrast, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, 5' nucleotidase and maltase were enriched significantly in all of the isolated microtriche preparations, which suggests that these enzymes are predominantly surface membrane bound. The protein profiles of the microthrix-enriched fractions, following SDS-PAGE, were basically similar, although there were some qualitative and quantitative differences in the proteins released by each isolation procedure. Three major PAS-staining components were present in all the preparations and these probably originated from the glycocalyx. One of these PAS-positive components, with an approximate molecular weight of 110 kDa, may be a glycoprotein specific to the horse strain of E. granulosus.
