ANTIGEN, VERFAHREN ZU SEINER HERSTELLUNG UND SEINE VERWENDUNG

摘要

A novel, glycoprotein antigen obtained from T. cruzi organisms can be used in vaccines for inducing immunity in humans to Chagas' disease. The glycoprotein is extracted by treating trypanosomes with a detergent and separating it from the cell debris and other proteinaceous material by affinity chromatography using lectin with affinity for glucose, mannose or galactose.
