Immunoperoxidase for the detection for the detection of antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid in neurocysticercosis: use of Cysticercus cellulosae and Cysticercus longicollis particles fixed on microscopy slides Imunoperoxidase para detecção de anticorpos em líquido cefalorraquiano na neurocisticercose: emprego de partículas de Cysticercus cellulosae e Cysticercus longicollis fixadas a lâminas de microscopia

The ORF strain of Cysticercus longicollis represents an important model for the study of heterologous antigens in the immunodiagnosis of neurocysticercosis (NC). The immunoperoxidase (IP) technique was standardized using a particulate antigen suspension of Cysticercus longicollis (Cl) and Cysticercu...
