摘要

A method of identifying Trypanosoma cruzi in a test sample, the method comprising the steps of: contacting a test sample of a human with the four recombinant polypeptides FP3 [SEQUENCE ID NO: 1], FP6 [SEQUENCE ID NO : 2], FP10 [SEQUENCE ID NO: 3] and TcF [SEQUENCE ID NO: 4], and detecting binding of antibodies in said test sample to at least two of said recombinant polypeptides, indicating the presence of said binding of said antibodies to at least two of said recombinant polypeptides the presence of Trypanosoma cruzi in said test sample.
