title: Antigens and antibodies in the ascitic fluid of mice infected with Fasciola gigantica.
abstract: 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.
