Two monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) were produced from BALB/c mice hyperimmunized with tegumental extract of Schistosoma japonicum (Chinese strain). The two McAbs were characterized with regard to antibody isotype, antigen binding specificity and parasite stage specificity. One McAb, 8G9-5, was identified as IgM, whereas the other McAb, 9E7, was determined to be IgG2a. Immunoblotting assay indicated that McAb 8G9-5 binds strongly to the band of tegumental antigens of Mr 64 kDa but also binds weakly to other bands at 116, 105, 97, 54, 50, 47 and 45 kDa, whereas 9E7 McAb reacts specifically at Mr 54 kDa. Anatomical localization of the antigens in the adult worm by indirect immunofluorescence assay indicated that the target epitopes of McAb 8G9-5 are in the intra-tegumental structure, whereas the McAb 9E7 epitope is on the surface membrane. The two McAbs also react at similar sites within the teguments of schistosomula and lung worms.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
