  • Title: Cross-reactivity of anti-Taenia crassiceps cysticerci immune antibodies with Taenia solium antigens.
    Author: Espíndola NM, De Gaspari EN, Nakamura PM, Vaz AJ.
    Journal: Vet Parasitol; 2000 May 17; 89(4):321-6. PubMed ID: 10799846.
    Abstract:
    A comparative study of antibody production was carried out using BALB/c mice immunized with 20 or 50microg vesicular fluid (VF)-Tcra (Taenia crassiceps) antigens, and gel of <30kD or eluate from <30kD peptides. Good IgM, IgA and IgG levels were detected by ELISA-Tcra and the antibodies presented reactivity with the <20kD peptides when tested by immunoblotting-Tcra. The antibodies from animals immunized with 20 and 50microg presented high anti-Tso cross-reactivity in ELISA (IgG>>IgM and IgA). All groups presented IgG antibodies identifying the 12kD Tso-peptide.
