Abstract
Excretory/secretory (ES) antigens were obtained by culturing pre-encystedTrichinella spiralislarvae which were recovered from muscles of experimentally infected mice 14–15 days postinfection. Analyses of these antigens (PEL ES) with immunoblotting, SDS-PAGE and Triple Antibody ELISA showed that they yielded a low sensitivity and specificity when tested antisera against the common nematodes of Chinese pigs. As compared to ES antigens from encysted larvae. PEL ES also contained more low molecular mass proteins.Keywords
