Effects of irradiation and tunicamycin on the surface glycoproteins Schistosoma mansoni
Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 84 (supl.1), 1989
The cercarial glycocalyx and schistosomulum surface contains a number of glycoproteins which are expressed in very variable amounts within a parasite population. Tunicamycin inhibits glycoprotein synthesis of schistosomula if the parasites are incubated for 24hr with the drug (10µg ml[raised to the powe...
