title: Immunodiagnosis of human anisakiasis by use of larval excretory-secretory antigen.
abstract: L3 larvae of Anisakis simplex, isolated from freshly caught herrings were cultured in Medium 199 at different temperatures to obtain excretory-secretory (ES) antigen. Larvae have been cultured in vitro for a period of 11 months. A crude extract of A. simplex larvae was compared with ES antigen obtained under 4 different culture conditions for the determination of IgG and IgE antibodies by ELISA and a modified RAST, respectively. 1 serum from a patient with histopathologically proved anisakiasis and 4 samples from persons with presumptive clinical disease were positive in the ELISA. Two sera were positive in the RAST. A combination of both tests is suggested for the serodiagnosis of human anisakiasis.
