Chemical Composition of Hydatid Cyst Fluid of Echinococcus granulosus

HYDATID CYST OF THE THYROID

Thyroid is a rare localization for hydatid cyst. Although the incidence of hydatid cyst is high in this geographic area, we have had only two cases of thyroid involvement in the last 10 years in Ghaem medical center in Mashhad.

Antibody response to glycan antigens of hydatid cyst fluid, laminated layer and protoscolex of Echinococcus granulosus

Background: Hydatid disease is characterized by long-term growth of hydatid cysts in the human. The glycan antigens have an important role in the immunology of hydatid cyst. In this study immunological reaction of host sera to different glycan antigens of the cyst, has been investigated. Methods: The antibody responses were tested to glycoprotein and glycolipid of the laminated layer (LL), c...

Dot-Elisa for evaluation of hydatid cyst wall, protoscoleces and hydatid cyst fluid antigens in the serodiagnosis of cystic echinococcosis.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate cyst wall and protoscolex as an alternate source of antigen in serodiagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE). A total of 90 blood samples, 30 each of confirmed CE cases, disease controls and healthy controls were collected. Dot-ELISA using cyst wall, protoscolex and cyst fluid were used to demonstrate anti-hydatid antibodies. The sensitivity of Dot-ELIS...

Purification and Immunobiochemical Characterization of Sheep Hydatid Cyst Fluid Antigen

In the present study, sheep crude hydatid cyst fluid antigen (SCHCFA) was prepared by ammonium sulfate precipitation, centrifugation and dialysis. SDS-PAGE of SCHCFA showed seven polypeptides of 72.8 kDa, 66.5 kDa, 60.2 kDa, 41 kDa, 25.1 kDa, 19 kDa and 8 kDa when stained with Coomassie briliant Blue R-250. The initial part of the ascending loop of the first peak (PI) when resolved by gel filtr...

Isolation and purification of Echinococcus granulosus antigen B from hydatid cyst fluid using three different methods

Hydatid cyst, the larval stage of cestodes Echinococcus spp., is recognized as a zoonotic infection in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently classified echinococcosis in a group of neglected tropical diseases.The prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus infection is high in Iran due to the presence of various intermediate hosts in this country. Considering the rising trend of...
