Abstract excerpt
Antigen B in hydatid cyst fluid of Echinococcus granulosus is a polymeric lipoprotein of 160 kDa, and is an aggregate of several different but homologous small proteins with approximately 8 kDa which are encoded by a multigene family. Four genes encoding 8-kDa-subunit monomers of the antigen B have been identified from E. granulosus. Recently, we have isolated another novel gene from Echinococcus multilocularis...
