Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was adapted for the serological differential diagnosis of cystic or alveolar echinococcosis in man caused by Echinococcus granulosus or E. multilocularis respectively. By affinity chromatography using rabbit anti hydatid fluid IgG coupled covalently to CNBr-Sepharose 4B a protein fraction (Em 1) containing shared antigens of both parasites could be isolated from an extract of E. multilocularis metacestode tissue. From the same source another antigen fraction (Em 2) with a high degree of specificity for E. multilocularis was prepared by immunosorption. Antigen Em 1 was equally sensitive for the detection of antibodies against E. granulosus and E. multilocularis, whereas antigen fraction Em 2 appeared to be more specific for E. multilocularis. A correct serological differential diagnosis was achieved in 95% of 57 confirmed cases of human cystic or alveolar echinococcosis by the simultaneous use of both antigen fractions in the ELISA and by comparison of their reactivities.
