Behavior of hemocytes of the gastropod molluse Biomphalaria glabrata was markedly changed on plastic by treatment of the substrate with 0.1 mg/ml poly-L-lysine compared to behavior on untreated plastic. On lysine, the cells showed minimal spreading, moved significantly faster, and formed aggregates. Cell-mediated cytotoxicity (CMC) assays were set up on the modified and untreated substrates to compare the killing capacities of B. glabrata hemocytes against Schistosoma mansoni sporocysts. Hemolymph from 1316-R1 (resistant) snails showed higher killing in lysine-treated wells; no significant difference in sporocyst mortality was observed in MO (susceptible) hemolymph between treated and untreated wells. The CMC assays on poly-L-lysine-treated plastic were used to compare the kinetics of parasite killing in hemolymph from 2 susceptible (MO, MRLc) and 2 resistant(l316-R1, 10R2) host strains. Marked differences could be observed between the two resistant snail strains, suggesting different mechanisms of parasite recognition, killing, or both.
