Schistosoma mansoni surface antigen defined by a rat monoclonal IgG2a
Abstract:
A schistosomula surface antigen of 38,000 daltons has been isolated by using a rat monoclonal IgG2a that has been shown to confer protection against S. mansoni infection by passive transfer in rats. This antigen is one of the previously characterized surface proteins reacting with sera from various infected hosts, including rat, mouse, monkey, and human. Studies on parasites of different developmental stages indicated the presence of this antigen on cercariae and skin-derived or mechanically transformed schistosomula.

Surface Tension and Surface Energy
Consider a beaker filled with liquid. The bulk molecules in the liquid experience equal attractive forces on all sides with the surrounding molecules. However, the surface molecules experience a net attractive force downward due to the bulk molecules. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane,...
