摘要: To characterize filarial antigens that may be associated with the development of chronic lymphatic dysfunction in persons filariasis, T cell responsiveness to Brugia pahangi adult worm extracts and SDS-PAGE antigen fractions were examined among Haitians from an area which Wuchereria bancrofti is endemic. Greater proliferation interleukin-10 (IL-10) production observed amicrofilaremic patients hydrocele or elephantiasis than microfilaremic asymptomatic persons. Antigen stimulated highest proliferative responses (in 25-49 kDa range) IL-10 not identical. Further separation immunodominant 30- 38-kDa fraction by ion exchange high-pressure liquid chromatography identified several subfractions, including a 32-kDa protein band, elicited hydrocele. By immunoblot, these also had markedly greater humoral reactivity parasite approximately 52, 43, 32, 30 kDa.
