Resumen
PONCE DE LEON, Patricia. Erythrocyte desialylation by Trichinella spiralis newborn larvae incubated in vitro. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2018, vol.52, n.2, pp.235-240. ISSN 0325-2957.
Trichinella spiralis is the species that causes most human cases of infection in the world. It was reported that contact of erythrocytes with concentrates of non-viable newborn larvae (NL) causes the decrease in erythrocyte sialic acid. The objective was to study erythrocyte desialylation produced by NL maintained in culture. Two experiments were conducted, in which 80 larvae were incubated with 100 μL of erythrocytes in 1 mL of supplemented RPMI medium for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 24 hours at 37 ºC. Titration of Aggregation by Polybrene Method was used and Title, Total Score and CexpCASP were calculated in Control erythrocytes and erythrocytes incubated with NL. The results showed that the sialic acid capture was moderated in the first and second hour. At three hours of incubation, the Title decreased significantly in relation to Control and CexpCASP (0.14±0.014) indicated almost total loss of erythrocyte sialic acid. Both values were maintained at 4 and 24 hours. When compared to similar studies conducted with infective larvae, it is suggested that, in vivo, NL would capture sialic acid faster than muscle larvae.
