Abstrakt: The SDS-PAGE and immunoblot were used to identify Trichomonas vaginalis antigenic epitopes present in purified somatic and exo-antigens. The presence of common immunogenic proteins corresponding to molecular weights of 76, 60 and 23 kDa was revealed. Distinctive immunogenic bands of 92, 72, 55 and 40 kDa for the exo-antigens, and of 110, 80, 78 and 50 kDa for the somatic antigens, appeared when the antigens were probed by the homologous immune rabbit serum.
