Diagnosis of human hydatidosis in kenya. I. The role of indirect hemagglutination test (iha) based on a thermo-stable antigen
(1986)
A method for preparation of a hydatid cyst antigen - antigen "880" - of Echinococcus granulosus origin by heat treatment of concentrated cattle hydatid cyst fluid (HCF) is described. The thermo-stable antigen was applied ...
