Antibody responses to in vitro translation products following albendazole therapy for Echinococcus granulosus.

Abstract

Immunoprecipitation of antigens translated in vitro from Echinococcus granulosus RNA revealed that albendazole treatment of human hydatidosis induced antibodies to previously undetectable antigens and that the response to most antigens was specific, although cross-reactivity was observed between Schistosoma mansoni and E. granulosus antisera for two proteins.
