title: [Cloning of Cysticercus cellulosae AgB cDNA coding region].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To amplify and clone Cysticercus cellulosae AgB cDNA coding region.
  
  
  METHODS
  The AgB cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR technique from the total RNA of Cysticercus cellulosae. It was cloned into the vector pUC118 and sequenced.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The PCR amplified product was a single band of 2.6 kb in size. The sequences of AgB cDNA coding region has 99.8% homology with that of Australian Cysticercus cellulosae, and their amino acid sequences have 99.3% homology.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cysticercus cellulosae AgB cDNA coding region has been cloned successfully.
