Immunohistochemical localization of antigens in advanced third-stage larvae of Gnathostoma spinigerum (GsAL3) was studied by indirect enzyme immunostaining using 7 G. spinigerum specific monoclonal antibodies, FS-3D11, SS-5H5, SK-6C4, SK-4E1, SK-7G6, SD-8D4 and SA-9B5. All these MAb belong to the IgG1 subclass and only FS-3D11 and SS-5H5 recognize carbohydrate determinants. Each MAb exhibited a different reaction pattern and staining intensity in sectioned GsAL3. FS-3D11 bound primarily to the intestinal brush border whereas SS-5H5 reacted with various tissues of the parasite including intestinal epithelium and brush border, lateral cords, muscle, pseudocoel, and cuticle. SK-6C4 predominantly stained muscle, however, SK-4E1 and SK-7G6 exhibited a lack of labeling. SD-8D4 bound to the cuticle and the lateral cords whereas SA-9B5 reacted primarily with the pseudocoel. These results suggest that antigens sharing common epitopes are present in various structures of the larvae with the intestine being the most antigenic site. The present data also suggest that certain GsAL3 antigens recognized by the MAb obtained in this study are sensitive to formalin fixation and/or paraffin embedding since for 2 out of the 7 MAb staining was negative.
