immunochemical properties of the antigens of triatoma infestans.taxonomically related to the cockroach periplaneta americana (pa), triatoma infestans (ti) is an insect that parasitizes two-thirds of argentina and acts as a vector for american trypanosomiasis. the glycoproteins obtained by a sephadex g-150 column fractionation from the whole-body extract prepared with the chitinous structures revealed antigenicity in rabbits, which developed specific igg after 8 weeks of immunization, as detected by several serological techniques. atopic patients living in th ...19921342895
