Abstract
Antibodies and antigens are disclosed which provide a method of detecting and a method of combating flukes. Fluke infections are screened by determining presence of fluke antigens defined by antibodies produced by hybridomas ATCC HB-8086 and HB-8087. Chronic and acute fluke infections are distinguished by determining presence of fluke spine protein. Fluke infections are combated by injecting warm-blooded animals with antibodies produced by hybridomas ATCC HB-8086, HB-8087 and HB-8088, or with proteins defined by those antibodies.
