Comparative Assessment of rEPC1 antigen and Copro-antigen for diagnosis of Echinococcosis in dogs
Abstract BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of Echinococcus granulosus in the definitive host particularly in dog is the significant complication in the endemic area. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is serological detection of E. granulosus in the infected dogs. METHODS: Dot-ELISA based on the copro-antigen and recombinant EPC1 antigen (rEPC1) for antibody detection was performed. Blood and fecal samples ...
متن کاملProduction and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies Recognizing a Common 57-kDa Antigen of Leishmania Species
Background: The therapy of leishmania infection is difficult and each year 1.5 million new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis and 500,000 new cases of visceral leishmaniasis are estimated, therefore, there is a need for an effective vaccine. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) is one of the suitable methods for isolation and purification of leishmania antigens. In this report, we produced several mAb aga...
متن کاملAntibodies to cysts of Giardia lamblia in primary giardiasis and in the absence of giardiasis.
The significance of serum antibodies binding to cysts of Giardia lamblia was evaluated by indirect immunofluorescence. Titers of 10 or higher were found in 85.6% of adults, who had probably never had giardiasis. Titers in 118 adults (geometric mean, 29.9) were higher than in 35 children (16.4), and titers in women (42.3) were higher than in men (20.0). Titers in 150 patients with primary giardi...

متن کاملSpecific and cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies to the 89-kDa antigen of Opisthorchis viverrini.
We previously reported the production of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to somatic (Billings et aI, 1990) and excretory-secretory (Amornpunt et aI, 1991) antigens of Opisthorchis viverrini. The characteristics of the antigens to which these MAbs reacted are summarized as shown in Table I. It was not surprising to note that all MAbs to the worm metabolic products were directed against the 89-kDa c...
