Expression, immunolocalization, and serological reactivity of a novel sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase-like protein, an excretory/secretory antigen from Clonorchis sinensis.

abstract：:Two soluble Toxoplasma gondii antigen preparations were compared using the immunoblotting technique. The first preparation, which is commonly employed in ELISA tests, corresponds to a lytic extract of the parasite. The second known as exo-antigen, has yielded good results in cell immunity research and is obtained from...
