The use of a synthetic antigen for the serological diagnosis of human trichinellosis

Hosts infected with Trichinella produce antibodies specific for an epitope common to the TSL-1 family antigens. This epitope contained uncommon terminal 3, 6-dideoxy-D-arabinohexose (so called tyvelose) residues. The disaccharide moiety was synthesized and an immunodiagnostic assay was developed, wh...
