Investigations for the Possible Use of a Monoclonal Antibody Produced against Strongyloides ratti Antigen as an Immunodiagnostic Reagent for Active Strongyloidiasis

摘要

Background:Currently, most of the available serological diagnostic kits for strongyloidiasis are based on the use of the crude antigens of Strongyloides ratti, which are good, but with less sensitivity towards the infection. Hence, this study aimed to produce and evaluate monoclonal antibody for detecting soluble parasite antigen in animal sera.
