Abstract

The protein composition of the incubation medium and extracts of various types of cestodes inhabiting the intestines of freshwater fish was investigated. Proteins with apparent molecular weights from 10 to 312.5 kDa were found in both biological media of worms. In most of the investigated worms, 64 to 82% of the protein bands in the incubation medium and the extract have an apparent molecular weight below 50 kDa. An assumption was made about the importance of these proteins in the vital activity of helminths and the need to concentrate further efforts on the study of this particular component of the proteome.
