Bloodstream forms (BSF) and procyclic culture forms (PCF) of African trypanosomes were incubated with a variety of lectins in vitro. Cessation of cell division and profound morphological changes were seen in procyclic forms but not in BSF after incubation with concanvavalin A (Con A). Wheat germ...

Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) binding to Cowdria ruminantium elementary bodies (CB) were identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and surface binding of one MAb (446.15) to intact CB was determined by immunofluorescence, immunogold labeling, and transmission electron microscopy. MAb 446.15 ...

A monoclonal antibody (MAb)Tv27 employed in an antigen-detection enzyme immunosorbent assay (Ag-ELISA) for diagnosis of Trypanosoma vivax infection was shown to react with a T. vivax-specific protein of an approximate molecular weight of 10 kDa. This protein is diffusely distributed throughout th...
