Evaluation of PurifiedTaenia soliumGlycoproteins and Recombinant Antigens in the Serologic Detection of Human and Swine Cysticercosis
14 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Cysticercosis caused by infection with embryonated eggs of Taenia solium is an important cause of neurological disease worldwide. On the basis of mitochondrial DNA analysis, T. solium is divided into 2 (African/American and Asian) genotypes. Glycoproteins (GPs) in cyst fluid purified from the 2 genotypes of T. solium were characterized and compared with the recombinant chimeric T. solium-Ag1V1/Ag2 protein...
