Characteristic band pattern in western blots for specific detection of anti-Trichinella spiralis antibodies in different host species

Western blot (Wb) is considered to be the gold standard test for Trichinella infection serology, since this method allows specific Trichinella antigens to be distinguished from cross-reactive antigens. This is not the case with widely used antibody assay techniques - indirect immunofluorescence and...
