ABSTRACTThe protein content of fresh homogenates and their corresponding TCA precipitated fractions of 10 different species of helminths was estimated by the methods of Lowry et al. and Spector using the Folin phenol reagent and Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 respectively. The former method gives exaggerated values as compared to the latter method. The parasite phenols, phenolic proteins and catecholamines could be responsible for interference in the Lowry's procedure. The TCA non-precipitable moieties also give colour only with the Folin phenol assay. The pronounced intra-specific differences in the total protein content of helminths reflect their metabolic variations and adaptations. Habitat does not appear to influence the protein content of parasites, however, the effect of host variation was evident in the pouched amphistome G. crumenifer. It is concluded that the dye binding method gives more consistent results and it can be conveniently applied to crude tissue homogenates of helminths.

Abstract This simple method of centrifugal analysis for total protein in human breast milk is based on the change in the wavelength of the absorbance maximum of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 when the dye is bound to protein. Within-run and between-day CVs were 3.8% and 4.8%, respectively. Compared with a micro-Kjeldahl method for determination of total nitrogen, the coefficient of correlation was 0.99.
