DNA vaccines for parasitic infections.

abstract：:Technetium-99 m (99mTc)-labelled conjugates of an anti-fibrin monoclonal antibody, DD-3B6/22, have been assessed for their detection of vascular thrombi in a rabbit model. DD-3B6/22 binds to a D-dimer epitope present on cross-linked fibrin but absent from the fibrin monomer or fibrinogen. Injection of a 99mTc-labelled...
