Serodiagnosis of Echinococcus spp. infection: explorative selection of diagnostic antigens by peptide microarray [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Production of native antigens for serodiagnosis of helminthic infections is laborious and hampered by batch-to-batch variation. For serodiagnosis of echinococcosis, especially cystic disease, most screening tests rely on crude or purified ...
