Discovery of novel Schistosoma japonicum antigens using a targeted protein microarray approach

Abstract Background Novel vaccine candidates against Schistosoma japonicum are required, and antigens present in the vulnerable larval developmental stage are attractive targets. Post-genomic technologies are now available which can contribute to such antigen discovery. Methods A schistosome-specifi...
