The ability of Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula to evade in vitro cytotoxic activity of antibodies plus complement is shown to be increased by incubation with Concanavalin A (Con A) or with non-immune inactivated human serum. This effect was not observed if S-adenosyl-homocysteine (SAH) a methyltransferase inhibitor was added to the incubation medium. Methyl group incorporation occurs in schistosomulum phospholipids if parasites are incubated in Earle's balanced salt solution. This incorporation is increased by Con A addition and this increase is inhibited by SAH. Supernatants of schistosomula incubated in culture media containing Con A were able to promote phospholipid methylation, showing that methyltransferases were liberated into the culture media. The possible roles played by these phenomena in host-parasite interactions are discussed.
