Resumen
PONCE DE LEON, Patricia; PRETTO, Lautaro y RACCA, Liliana. Erythrocyte desialylation with and without T antigen exposure produced by Trichinella spiralis. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2018, vol.52, n.1, pp.65-70. ISSN 0325-2957.
The aim of this work was to study the desialylation of erythrocytes that expose the T antigen by contact with T. spiralis newborn larvae (NL) and of those that do not. Work was carried out with 15 red cell suspensions in enzymatic medium, which were incubated with NL. The respective Control RBC were incubated with saline solution. To analyze the effect of the parasite on the exposure of the T antigen, the Anti T- antigen T Agglutination Method was applied and the aggregation was studied by Polybrene and Digital Image Analysis Methods determining CexpTS, ICC and Distribution of Erythrocyte Aggregates (DEA). The mean of coefficients in the erythrocytes that exposed the T antigen were CexpTS= 0.22 ± 0.179 and ICC= 0.73 ± 0.108 and of those that did not it was 0.86±0.125 y 0.205±0,163 respectively. DEA showed that the RBCs that exposed it showed a marked decrease of isolated cells and a pronounced increase of large aggregates in relation to the Controls, while the RBCs in which there was no exposure, the decrease of isolated cells with respect to Controls was lower and the increase of aggregates was homogeneously distributed among all categories. The experience concludes that the obtained values of the coefficients differ significantly in the RBCs that expose the T antigen from those that do not, so these techniques could be predictive to detect T unmasking.
