Antigens and antibodies in the ascitic fluid of mice infected with Fasciola gigantica.
Fluke antigens were detected in the ascitic fluid of mice infected with Fasciola gigantica. The precipitating antibodies reactive against the antigens from metacercariae were detected as early as 2 weeks after the infection, and those against the adult and immature worms appeared 3 and 4 weeks later.
