High Molecular Weight Proteins of Trypanosoma cruzi Reduce Cross-Reaction with Leishmania spp. in Serological Diagnosis Tests
Figure 2
High molecular weight T. cruzi antigens’ recognition by chagasic symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Western blot analysis was performed on 173 chagasic patients’ sera samples (1 : 500) with total sonicated extract of epimastigotes of T. cruzi and peroxide-conjugated anti-human IgG (1 : 10000). Molecular weight of each antigen recognized by symptomatic and asymptomatic patients was determined by comparison of molecular weight markers (Fermentas). Results represent media ± standard deviation. ; .
