Trichinella spiralis: a 76-kDa excretory/secretory larval antigen identified by a monoclonal antibody.

Abstract:

:Spleen cells from BALB/c mice were fused with myeloma cells following infection of the mice with Trichinella spiralis larvae and an ip booster injection with larval homogenate antigen. A monoclonal antibody (Mab), designated as TS 3G6 which did not react with sera or tissue extracts from noninfected mice, rats, and guinea pigs, was selected for further studies because of its high activity and specificity. When tested in ELISA TS 3G6 did not cross-react with Ascaris suum, A. lumbricoides, Toxocara canis, E. granulosus (larvae), Trichiuris suis, or T. ovis. Western blot analysis showed that Mab 3G6 recognized an antigen of 76 kDa located in the stichosome of the larvae as well as on the surface of the larval cuticle. Digestion of a larval extract with different enzymes suggests that the Mab TS 3G6 corresponding epitope is a polypeptide. The TS 3G6 antigen was detected in culture supernatants of Trichinella muscle larvae and in sera of experimentally infected animals using a sensitive ELISA assay. This secretory antigen also seemed to induce a specific immune response in the host since sera from infected animals could block the binding of Mab TS 3G6 to its target antigen when tested in a competitive ELISA.
