Monoclonal Antibodies against Enterocytozoon bieneusi of Human Origin [PDF]

Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2005
ABSTRACT Enterocytozoon bieneusi is clinically the most significant among the microsporidia infecting humans, causing chronic diarrhea, wasting, and cholangitis in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS. The lack of immune reagents is largely due to the absence of methods for laboratory propagation of
