TsmAbs with isotype, reactivity to other helminth antigens and immunolocalization.

Class and sub-class of monoclonal antibodies produced against whole antigen (TsW), vesicular fluid (TsV) and excretion/secretion products (TsE) of Taenia solium cyst antigens. Shown are ELISA results of reactivity against their homologous antigens, Ts hAg; cross reactivity with T. hydatigena vesicular fluid, Th VF; E. granulosus vesicular fluid, Eg VF; F. hepatica excretion/secretion products, Fh ES; and T. saginata whole antigen, Tsag WA. Immunolocalization by IFA on structural components of the cyst is also presented. Abbreviations: cyst wall (CW), neck (N) and vesicular space (VS).
