  • Title: Use of two sensitive and specific immunoblot markers, em70 and em90, for diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis.
    Author: Korkmaz M, Inceboz T, Celebi F, Babaoglu A, Uner A.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2004 Jul; 42(7):3350-2. PubMed ID: 15243114.
    Abstract:
    Antibodies against Echinococcus multilocularis metacestodes were screened by immunoblotting sera from patients with alveolar echinococcosis (n = 39), cystic echinococcosis (n = 109), or other parasitic infections (n = 66) and healthy individuals (n = 32). Two antigens, approximately 70 and 90 kDa, are found to be valuable for confirmatory diagnosis, with a sensitivity and specificity of 100 and 99.51%, respectively.
