Abstract
Proteins extracted from culture forms of T. cruzi, T. cruzi-like strains, T. rangeli, T. conhorrini and T. dionisii were separated by disc electrophoresis. The electrophoretic protein patterns of all strains were highly reproducible. Each of these strains have their own fingerprints and the Trypanosoma spp. could be identified by some typical specific protein bands. It was not possible to distinguish between the human strains of T. cruzi and the T. cruzi-like strains isolated from other sources.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
