Popis: Newly excysted juvenile Fasciola hepatica, when placed in isolated loops of intestine prepared in previously infected rats, acquired a surface covering of rat immunoglobulin. IgG, IgA, IgE and IgM were all involved. This immunoglobulin coating was sloughed off when the flukes were maintained in vitro for three hours.
