PG - 153-6 AB - OBJECTIVE: To understand and identify the molecules related to the natural resistance to Schistosoma japonicum infection in Mirotus fortis. METHODS: Sera from Mirotus fortis without schistosome infection were collected. The S. japonicum adult worm cDNA library was immunologically screened with the sera. The positive recombinants were identified, cloned, sequenced and analysed with software and internet. RESULTS: Seven genes encoding antigens relevant to sera antibodies in Mirotus fortis were cloned and sequenced. These antigens included glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), serine protease inhibitors (SERPIN), 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70), 22.6 kDa membrane-associated antigen, paramyosin (Sj97), cytochrome C and cathepsin B. CONCLUSION: Many protein molecules might have been involved in natural resistance to S. japonicum infection in Mirotus fortis. The above 7 kinds of molecules may be identified as new candidates of vaccine against S. japonicum infection.
