Tamoxifen Treatment in Hamsters Induces Protection during Taeniosis by Taenia solium

Table 1

Primers used for amplification of hamster-specific genes. Primer sequences were designed based on hamster-specific gene sequences reported in the Gene databank, NCBI, NIH. Primer sequence as well as molecular weight expected of the PCR product is shown.
