Compositions and methods for the detection of Taenia solium and the diagnosis and treatment of T. solium infection are described. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the antigenic polypeptides TS-14, TS-18 and TSRS-1 are provided. The compositions contain antigenic polypeptides of larval origin. The polypeptides are useful as research tools for studying T. solium and as reagents in assays for the detection of T. solium antibodies in a biological sample. The methods are sensitive and specific assays that utilize the antigenic polypeptides or nucleic acid molecules encoding the larval polypeptides.
L'invention concerne des compositions et méthodes de détection de Taenia solium, ainsi que le diagnostic et le traitement d'une infection due à T. solium. On détermine les séquences nucléotidique et d'acides aminés des polypeptides antigènes TS-14, TS-18 et TSRS-1. Les compositions contiennent des polypeptides antigènes d'origine larvaire. Les polypeptides s'utilisent comme outils de recherche dans l'étude de T.solium et comme réactifs pour des analyses de détection d'anticorps de T.solium dans un prélèvement biologique. Les méthodes selon l'invention consistent en analyses sensibles et spécifiques faisant intervenir les polypeptides antigènes ou molécules d'acide nucléique codant pour les polypeptides larvaires.
