[The indirect immunofluorescent antibody test with paraffin-embedded histological sections as antigen in experimental echinococcosis (author's transl)].
A modification of the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test for the diagnosis of infections with metacestodes of Echinococcus multilocularis is described. Formol alcohol was used as fixative mixture for the antigen materials; as embeding medium served paraffin. In positive reactions the peripheral protoscolex-layers showed a bright yellow-green fluorescence. Specificity and sensibility in the animal model experiment are to be expressed as very good.
