摘要
Estradiol is a steroid hormone secreted principally by the ovarian follicles in vertebrate animals. We have identified the production of an estradiol-related molecule in the trematodes Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosomiasis mansoni. We show in this work that this molecule related to estradiol is present in schistosome worm extracts. The detection method ELISA specific for estradiol, revealed the expression of this estradiol-related molecule in schistosome worm extracts, but not in Fasciola hepatica worm extracts. Our results demonstrate for the first time the production of an estradiol-related compound by a human parasite of the genus Schistosoma. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
