Abstract

The aim of the work was to analyze oligosaccharide composition with the focus on O-linked glycoproteins presence in the total extract obtained from different Trichinella species muscle larvae by means of lectin affino-blot with lectins selected for their sugar specificity. The absence of reactivity with two lectins, Tritrichomonas mobilensis lectin and Maackia amurensis agglutinin, indicated that the species of the Trichinella genus do not synthesize sialic acid. Reactivity with Helix pomatia lectin, Vicia villosa lectin-B4, peanut agglutinin and Ulex europeus lectin-I identified the presence of O-linked glycans identical to carcinoma-associated Tn-antigen (GalNAc-α-Ser/Thr) and T-antigen (Gal-β1,3-GalNAc-α-Ser/Thr) and also structures analogous to ABH-blood group antigens. The results obtained may contribute to a better understanding of the glycobiology of this parasitic nematode in relation to occupation of its intracellular niches.
