Abstract-This paper presents a review ol’the Trichinella antigens within the context of spccics vari- ation. As with other parasites, Trichinella antigens can he classified according to their localisation as surface, excretory/secretory (ES) and somatic components. Surface antigens are mainly constitucnts of the outer cuticle although secrctions from inner parts of the body wall as well as from the oesoph- agus can temporarily accumulate in the surface. ES antigens come mainly from the excretory gran- ules of the stichosome, whereas somatic constitutive antigens anne from the internal parts of the worms. ES products arc considered very important from an immunological point of view as they are easily targeted by the immune system, whereas parasite death is required for exposure of somatic products. Some of the antigenic components have been characterised chemically. Phosphorylcholine is an important hapteii that modulatcs the immunc responses in Trichinella infections. Glycopi-oteins are the major components of surface and excretory/secretory products. A 43-kDa glycoprotein has been regarded as a good candidate for diagnosis and vaccination purposes. Recently some glycans have received special attention either as relevant epitopes or as parasite evasion strategies. © l ni;1/El;evier, Paris.

Résumé - Antigènes de Trichinella : une revue. Cette revue concerne les antigènes de 7’riolrinella dans le contexte des variations d’espèces. Comme dans le cas d’autres parasitcs, les antigènes de Trichinc·llu peuvent être classés en fonction de leur localisation comme composants somatiques, de surface et d’excrétion-sécrétion (ES). Les antigènes de surface sont principalement des constituants de la cuticule externe, bien que les sécrétions des parties internes de la paroi corporelle ainsi que celles de i’œsophage s’accumulent parfois temporairement à la surface. Les antigènes d’excrétion- sécrétion proviennent principaleinent des granules excrétoires du stichosome tandis quc les anti- gènes somatiques constitutifs appartiennent aux parties intcrncs des vers. On considère que les pro- duits d’exci-étion-séci-étioti sont très importants du point de vue inununolo!tique car ils sont tacitement accessibles par le système immunitaire tandis que la mort du parasite est nécessaire pour que les produits somatiques soient exposés. Quelques-uns des composants antigéniques ont été caractérisés.

Les glycoprotéines sont les composants majeurs des antigènes de surface et des produits d’excrétion-sécrétion. La glycoprotéine de 43 kDa a été considérée comme un bon candidat pour le diagnostic et pour les projets de vaccination. Récemment, quelques glycanes ont été l’objet d’une attention spéciale soit dans le cadre de la stratégie d’évasion des parasites soit parce qu’ils ont été considérés comme des épitopes appropriés. © Inra/Elsevier, Paris.
