Cytochemical staining techniques were carried outen blocwithin vitroexcysted and gut-penetratedFasciola giganticalarvae in order to visualise the glycocalyx of the tegument, a structure which comprises the parasite component of the host-parasite interface, yet is incompletely preserved by conventional fixation and preparation techniques for electron microscopy. Positive reactivity with ruthenium red and periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazine-osmium (PATCO) techniques revealed that the glycocalyx is polyanionic and carbohydrate-rich throughout its depth. It comprises a trilaminate arrangement, with a thin dense zone and fibrillar layer closely apposed to the outer aspect of the apical plasma membrane, invested by an irregular thick mucopolysaccharide capsule. The latter, not recorded in adult flukes, may represent a specific adaptation to facilitate invasion in the face of host immunity, and may also protect the parasite surface from the action of host- and parasite-derived proteases. Early in the invasion of a naïve host, the glycocalyx may be partly responsible for triggering the responses of innate immunity, while later in infection, or when an anamnestic response is initiated in an immunocompetent host, the antibodies and activated lymphocytes of specific acquired immunity are invoked to interact with the parasite surface. The cytochemical properties of the glycocalyx, together with its potential for dynamic turnover due to exocytosis of the T0 tegumental secretory bodies, are likely to aid neutralisation of potentially damaging immune effectors and ensure their removal from the vicinity of the parasite by sloughing in complex with glycocalyx components.
