This report contains a partial characterization of the epitope recognized by monoclonal antibody (MAb) ES78 produced against excretory-secretory (ES) antigens of Fasciola hepatica. ES78 is currently used for the detection of ES antigens in serum and stool samples of cattle and humans with fasciolosis, using a highly sensitive and specific sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The epitope was characterized by periodate oxidation, alkaline borohydride reduction, trichloroacetic acid precipitation, beta-mercaptoethanol treatment, and enzymatic proteolysis. These results, together with those of the 2-site ELISA, lectin immunoassays, and beta-galactosidase digestion, showed that MAb ES78 reacts with a partly protein/partly carbohydrate antigenic determinant that is found on several ES molecules of adult specimens of F. hepatica and contains at least 1 disulfide bond and beta-galactose probably as galactose-beta(1-3)-N-acetylgalactosamine disaccharide.

D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Chromatography, Bioaffinity,Immunochromatography,Affinity Chromatography,Bioaffinity Chromatography
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.

D005210 Fasciola hepatica A species of helminth commonly called the sheep liver fluke. It occurs in the biliary passages, liver, and gallbladder during various stages of development. Snails and aquatic vegetation are the intermediate hosts. Occasionally seen in man, it is most common in sheep and cattle.
