Sažetak
The present study shows the characterization of four somatic antigens (Whole Cyst Antigen (WCA), Cystic Fluid Antigen (CFA), Scolex Antigen (SA) and Membrane-Body Antigen (MBA)) and one metabolic antigen (Excretory-Secretory Antigen (ESA)) prepared from Cysticercus cellulosae originated from a naturally infected pig. Immunodominat proteins were determined using hyper immune rabbit sera. The Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate- Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) profile of the antigens revealed different numbers and patterns of protein bands in the range of 11.80 to 176.74 kDa. The electrophoretic pattern of ESA also revealed a number of closely placed indistinct bands in the range of 20-34 kDa.. The proteins in the lower molecular weight range (< 30 kDa) in the case of WCA, CFA, ESA, and the medium molecular weight range (30-60 kDa) in the case of SA and MBA were observed to be immunodominant in the Enzyme-Linked Immunoelectrotransfer Blot (EITB) assay. These immunodominant proteins could be further investigated as potential diagnostic antigens in the serodiagnosis of cysticercosis in pigs, and neurocysticercosis in human patients.
