Extract

Larval Taenia crassiceps of the ORF and KBS strains have been shown to accumulate whole 14C-Chlorella proteins in the bladder fluid. Precipitation by trichloroacetic acid removed 70% of the radioactivity indicating the 14C-Chlorella proteins had not been catabolized during movement into the bladder fluid.
