Improved Immunodiagnosis of Cystic Hydatid Disease by Using a Synthetic Peptide with Higher Diagnostic Value Than That of Its Parent Protein, Echinococcus granulosus Antigen B

González-Sapienza, Gualberto, Lorenzo, Carmen, Nieto, Alberto

The assays are used for the diagnosis of hydatid disease are still imperfect. The reported diagnostic sensitivity and specificity vary greatly depending on the panel of sera used, the laboratory...

Echinococcus granulosus antigen 5 is closely related to proteases of the trypsin family.
