Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula cultured in the presence of phospholipids showed a decreased sensitivity to the lethal complement-mediated action of anti-schistosome antibodies. Phosphatidyl choline, sphingomyelin and phosphatidyl ethanolamine had a protective action on the schistosomula transformed in vitro by passage through the skin or by a mechanical procedure. Phosphatidyl choline acted regardless of its fatty acid composition. Phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidic acid did not protect. Thus, it appears that phospholipids can play a role in parasite resistance to immune attack by cytotoxic antibodies and complement, and that this role is specific to certain phospholipid types.
