An Enzyme-Linked Immunoelectrotransfer Blot Assay and Glycoprotein Antigens for Diagnosing Human Cysticercosis (Taenia solium)
TL;DR: An enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) assay was developed for immunodiagnosing human cysticercosis and identified seven major glycoprotein bands that are commonly recognized by virtually all serum and/or CSF samples from patients with confirmed cysticERCosis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and a kit for diagnosing active human neurocysticercosis utilizing an immunoblot assay which comprises: detecting the presence of antibodies in the serum or cerebrospinal fluid of a human to be diagnosed, wherein the antibodies are reacted with Taenia solium larval antigens which have been isolated by lentil lectin affinity.
