Molecular Characterization and Diagnostic Value of <i>Taenia solium</i> Low-Molecular-Weight Antigen Genes
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) caused by infection with the larvae of Taenia solium is an important cause of neurological disease worldwide. In order to establish an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for this infection using recombinant proteins, we carried out molecular cloning and identified four candidates as diagnostic antigens (designated Ag1, Ag1V1, Ag2, and Ag2V1). Except for Ag2V1, these clones could...
