title: Comparative studies on detecting CAg in urine of acute schistosomiasis patients by mAb-RIHA and mAb-DotELISA.
abstract: Urine was concentrated 20-fold for assay for CAg of Schistosoma japonicum. mAb-RIHA and mAb-DotELISA were positive in 78, 31% and 65.06% of cases respectively, of 83 patients with acute schistosomiasis. The false positive rates in 101 healthy controls were 14.85% and 0%, respectively. Cross-reactions (using mAb-RIHA) were seen in 16.36% and 14.28% of patients with clonorchiasis, 49 patients with ankylostomiasis, respectively. Corresponding figures for mAb-DotELISA were 0% and 0%.
