Evaluation of the protective potential of aTaenia soliumcysticercus mimotope on murine cysticercosis

Highlights *Taenia soliumandTaenia crassicepsare phylogenetically related. * Synthetic mimotope ofT. solium(NC-1) conjugated to BSA was used as immunogen. * NC-1/BSA elicited protection to mice challenged intraperitoneally withT. crassiceps. * NC-1/BSA antibodies immunostained proteins fromT. crassi...

Description
Summary:Highlights *Taenia soliumandTaenia crassicepsare phylogenetically related. * Synthetic mimotope ofT. solium(NC-1) conjugated to BSA was used as immunogen. * NC-1/BSA elicited protection to mice challenged intraperitoneally withT. crassiceps. * NC-1/BSA antibodies immunostained proteins fromT. crassicepscisticercus. * NC-1 is a good candidate to compose vaccine against human and animal cysticercosis.
