SDS PAGE Protein profile in small intestine of mice during ancylostomiasis

Abstract

Qualitative protein profile in the small intestine of singly and multiply infected mice were studied during ancylostomiasis. In singly infected animals, polypeptide changes occurred on day 4 and 9 of infection. In multiply infected animals also, the polypeptide pattern was markedly altered during day 4 and 9 of experiment. These studies demonstated that both low molecular and high molecular weight protein bands are formed due to antigen -antibody reactions in the small intestine of the host.
