Parkhouse R, Carpio A, Cortez M, von Kriegsheim A, Fesel C
J Neuroimmunol . 2020 Apr; 344:577234. PMID: 32305783
Neurocysticercosis (NC) presents a spectrum of clinical manifestations, with two broad clinical entities based on the central nervous system location of the parasite: extraparenchymal (EP-NC) and parenchymal (P-NC). In this...

Heliyon . 2018 Dec; 4(12):e00991. PMID: 30534618
The role of immunologic tests in the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis (NC) is controversial and few studies have made comparisons among them. The objective of this study was to compare immunological...

Parkhouse R, Carpio A, Campoverde A, Sastre P, Rojas G, Harrison L, et al.
Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg . 2018 Nov; 113(2):101-104. PMID: 30383274
Background: Previously we reported the use of a monoclonal antibody-based (HP10) antigen (Ag) detection lateral flow assay (LFA) for the diagnosis of extraparenchymal neurocysticercosis (EP-NCC). The assay performed well when...

Parkhouse R, Carpio A, Campoverde A, Sastre P, Rojas G, Cortez M
Acta Trop . 2017 Nov; 178:119-123. PMID: 29155204
To evaluate diagnosis of active neurocysticercosis, paired cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples from 24 neurocysticercosis (NCC) patients and 17 control neurological patients were assayed in the HP10 Taenia...

Ferrer E, Sanchez J, Milano A, Alvarez S, La Rosa R, Lares M, et al.
Exp Parasitol . 2011 Nov; 130(1):78-85. PMID: 22075212
To study diagnostic epitopes within the Taenia solium 8 kDa antigen family, six overlapping synthetic peptides from an 8 kDa family member (Ts8B2) were synthesized and evaluated by ELISA and...
6.
Ferrer E, Martinez-Escribano J, Barderas M, Gonzalez L, Cortez M, Davila I, et al.
Mol Biochem Parasitol . 2009 Aug; 168(2):168-71. PMID: 19712705
Ts8B2 is a gene which encodes for a member of the Taenia solium metacestode 8kDa antigen family. Since the Ts8B2-GST recombinant protein compares very favourably with other diagnostic antigens, and...

Ferrer E, Gonzalez L, Martinez-Escribano J, Gonzalez-Barderas M, Cortez M, Davila I, et al.
Parasitol Res . 2007 Mar; 101(3):517-25. PMID: 17351832
With the objective of providing inexpensive and reproducible assays for the detection of antibodies indicating exposure to Taenia saginata and Taenia solium, we have evaluated the diagnostic utility of the...

Ferrer E, Bonay P, Foster-Cuevas M, Gonzalez L, Davila I, Cortez M, et al.
Mol Biochem Parasitol . 2007 Jan; 152(1):90-100. PMID: 17210192
Antibody screening of a lambdaZAP-XR Taenia solium metacestode cDNA library yielded a clone (Ts8B1), with an insert of 345 bp, and an open reading frame of 258 bp, that coded...

Ferrer E, Gonzalez L, Foster-Cuevas M, Cortez M, Davila I, Rodriguez M, et al.
Exp Parasitol . 2005 May; 110(1):1-11. PMID: 15884156
A cDNA encoding for a predicted small heat shock protein (sHSP), Tsol-sfISP35.6, has been isolated by antibody screening of a Taenia solium c-DNA library. The clone was a full-length sequence...

Ferrer E, Moyano E, Benitez L, Gonzalez L, Bryce D, Foster-Cuevas M, et al.
Parasitol Res . 2003 Aug; 91(1):60-7. PMID: 12898225
A lambdaZAP-express cDNA library of Taenia saginata metacestodes was constructed. Antibody screening yielded a clone with an insert of 3,408 bp, an open reading frame of 2,589 bp, a deduced...
