Immunodiagnosis of human fascioliasis using an antigen of Fasciola gigantica adult worm with the molecular mass of 27 kDa by a dot-ELISA.
Immunodominant antigens of an approximate molecular mass of 27 kDa (FG 27) were obtained from an excretory-secretory product of adult Fasciola gigantica by a simple continuous-elution method. A dot-ELISA using the FG 27 antigen was developed for the detection of specific antibodies from patients infected with F. gigantica. Control sera were obtained from patients with other parasitic infections...
متن کاملCirculating immune complexes in human fascioliasis. Relationship with Fasciola hepatica egg output.
Circulating immune complexes were investigated by the 125I-Clq binding test in serum from patients with fascioliasis. Only 36% of all the patients studied showed significant levels of CIC. Nevertheless, when we considered only the patients eliminating Fasciola hepatica eggs in the stool and/or with the acute phase of the infection, the detection of CIC was very higher (more than 70% of the case...
متن کاملShort report: Immunodiagnosis of human fascioliasis using recombinant Fasciola hepatica cathepsin L1 cysteine proteinase.
Our laboratory recently developed a diagnostic test (ELISA) for human fascioliasis based on the detection of serum IgG4 antibodies reactive with Fasciola hepatica cathepsin L1 (CL1). In the present study, we have used recombinant CL1, generated by functional expression of the cDNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in this immunodiagnostic test and compared its performance with native CL1. Sera obtai...
متن کاملFasciola hepatica in the human eye.
During intraocular surgery of a 44-year-old woman from Guilan Province in north Iran, a small flat parasite was removed from the anterior chamber angle of the left eye. According to morphological characterisation of the parasite, it was identified as Fasciola hepatica. The route of entry of the parasite was not identified. Meanwhile, stool and serology examinations of the patient for diagnosis ...
