Abstract

Protein somatic products of adult helminths Hymenolepis nana and Toxocara canis and secretory-excretory somatic product of Trichinella spiralis larvae In Vitro produced genotoxic and cytotoxic effects on donor blood lymphocytes, which manifested in accumulation of single-chain breaks, alkaline-labile sites in nuclear DNA, and apoptotic cells. This effect depended on the concentration of parasitic protein products during coculturing.
