Abstract:

Objective  To analyze the sera peptides from mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum by Chaihu, and evaluate its effect.  Methods  The infected mice model and the treated group were established, peptides were purified from the sera by MB-WCX kit (Bruker Daltonics GmBH), and then analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS and ClinProTool algorithm. Results  Among the mass range from 800 to 17 000 Da, expression of 2 924 Da and 8 210 Da were up-regulated and 11 690 Da down-regulated in the healthy and treated group compared with the infected group. Conclusion  Chinese medicine Chaihu has the potential value in the treatment of schistosomiasis which provides theoratic basis for screening treating targets in protein level.
