T. solium IgG ELISA Kit

The T. solium IgG ELISA Kit is a qualitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting IgG antibodies to Taenia solium cyst fluid antigens in human serum or plasma. Cysticercosis is caused by the larval form (cysticerci) of T. solium, primarily affecting the central nervous system (CNS), leading to neurocysticercosis, which can cause seizures, headaches, increased intracranial pressure, and altered mental states.

The infection is acquired through ingestion of T. solium eggs, often from contaminated food, water, or direct contact with fecal matter. The disease is endemic in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, while industrialized nations report cases mainly due to immigration. Reliable diagnosis typically combines radiological imaging and serological testing to confirm the presence of cysticerci.

This ELISA kit uses T. solium cyst fluid antigens coated on microplates to detect specific IgG antibodies. Positive samples produce a strong colorimetric reaction, providing results that are readable visually or using an ELISA reader.
