Abstract

Antigenic structures of Brazilian species of Biomphalaria glabrata pigmentado, B. glabrata albino and B. straminea were compared using immunoelectrophoresis. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1) In the cases of immunization with Biomphalaria snails, 22-23 precipitin bands were observed between the antigens and its homologous antisera, and 15-20 bands were showed in the heterologous reactions. 2) The common antigenicities between B. glabrata pigmentado and B. glabrata albino were proved to be more than that between B. glabrata pigmentado and B. straminea, and that between B. glabrata albino and B. straminea. 3) Some residual bands were observed by absorption procedure showed different patterns of immunoelectrophoretic bands.
