Fractionation of trypanosome antigens for species-specific sero-diagnosis

Veterinary Parasitology
I F IjagboneR Reinhard

Abstract

Crude somatic antigens from isolated and ultrasonically treated trypanosomes were fractionated by column chromatography. A protein-free antigenic fraction was isolated which reacted monospecifically when tested against hyperimmune sera from rabbits. The method has a potential application in the improvement of serodiagnosis of trypanosomiasis.

African Trypanosomiasis

African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is an insect-borne parasitic disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by protozoa of the species Trypanosoma brucei and almost invariably progresses to death unless treated. Discover the latest research on African trypanosomiasis here.
