Hybridoma cell lines thought to be producing monoclonal antibodies reactive with bovine IgE are being recloned and immunochemical evaluation has been carried out on the monoclonal antibodies.
Studies into the comparative pathogenicity of Fasciola gigantica fasciolosis in Eastern Nepal have indicated that buffaloes are surprisingly susceptible to infection.
Immunity stimulated by drug treatment of early gastrointestinal nematode infections in a mouse has been shown to influence the resistance of the animals to concurrent trypanosome infections. These findings support the suggestion that further studies should be conducted in sheep.
Immunochemical analysis of excretions and secretions of Fasciola hepatica at various ages as it develops in the definitive host has resulted in the identification of candidate protective/diagnostic antigens. |
