Hemolytic factors in Schistosoma japonicum eggs [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1984 Extracts of Schistosoma japonicum eggs were found to exhibit hemolytic activity on erythrocytes of various species. The hemolytic reaction took place more rapidly at 37 degrees C than at 4 degrees C and did not require divalent cations. The degree of hemolysis was dependent on the concentration of the egg extracts.
