Immune response in goats vaccinated with thiol-binding proteins from Haemonchus contortus.

abstract：:Eleven strains of Trypanosoma cruzi, originating from a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts in distinct geographical regions, were examined for the reactivity of metacyclic stages with the monoclonal antibody 1G7. Trypomastigotes of five strains were susceptible to complement-dependent 1G7-mediated lysis. Hig...
