Thin sections of Epon and Lowicryl embedded microfilariae of Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy aiming at topochemical characterization of the sheath. Three layers could be distinguished. Some of the layers were labeled when incubated in the presence of antibodies, lectins and enzymes which recognize extracellular matrix components usually associated with the basal laminae lining epithelial cells.
