Abstract
Serum humoral immune response to Cryptosporidium parvum was evaluated in six species: mouse, rabbit, lamb, calf, pig and man. Electrophoretic and immunoblot analysis showed that specific animal antibody response appeared between Day 4 and Day 15 post inoculation. The two main target antigens had apparent molecular weights of 15-17 and 23 kDa. They were recognised by each species studied. Serum IgA intensively recognised the 15-17 kDa antigen, except in rabbit. This study demonstrates that these two antigens are consistent targets of humoral immune response and can therefore be of great interest in studies of therapy/prophylaxis.Entities:
