| dc.description.abstract | A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for detecting Opisthorchis viverrini antigen in faecal extracts of four groups of individuals. These were 24 patients with O. viverrini infection only (group 1), 31 patients with O. viverrini and other parasitic infections (group 2), 141 patients with other parastitic infections (group 3) and 21 normal, parasite-free individuals (group 4). The first antibody used in the ELISA was polyclonal immunoglobulin G prepared from the serum of a rabbit previously immunized with crude extract of O. viverrini. The second antibody was monoclonal antibody specific to an antigen located in the worm tegument and muscular tissue. Sensitivity of the assay was 31% while specificity was 100%. Considerations for improving the sensitivity are discussed. © 1992. | en_US |
