Reactivity of<i>Schistosoma japonicum</i>and<i>S. mansoni</i>antigen preparations in indirect haemagglutination (IHA) with sera of patients with homologous and heterologous schistosomiasis

Abstract excerpt

Sera of patients infected with Schistosoma japonicum, S. mansoni or S. haematobium were tested in an indirect haemagglutination assay (IHA) using soluble S. japonicum egg antigen (SjSEA) and soluble S. mansoni adult antigen prepared either from a Puerto Rican strain (SmAWA) or an Egyptian strain (SmBW; Cellognost-Schistosomiasis Kit). Reactions were best, in terms of titres and sensitivity, in homologous systems....
