-
screening of cathepsin L1/cathepsin L2 mimotopes and use of an M13 phage random 12-mers peptide library to evaluate their immunogenicity in sheep. Immunization of sheep with clones showing positive reactivity to rabbit cathepsin L1/L2 antiserum results in decrease in worm burdens after challenge. A significant reduction in worm size and burden is observed for those sheep immunized with clone 1. Animals receiving clone 20, show a significant reduction in egg output. Immunization induces a reduction of egg viability ranging from 58% to 82%. Vaccinated animals produce clone-specific antibodies which are boosted after challenge with metacercariae of Fasciola hepatica
diagnostics
analysis of the diagnostic values of the three different clades of cathepsin Ls, FhCL1, FhCL2, and FhCL5, from adult flukes in an ELISA, test of sera from sheep and cattle naturally infected with Fasciola hepatica, assessment of cross-reactive antibodies, overview. For sheep sera, the sensitivity is 100% for the three rFhpCLs, while for cattle sera, the highest sensitivity is obtained using rFhpCL2 (97%), being equal for both rFhpCL1 and rFhpCL5 (87.9%), after adjusting cut-offs for maximum specificity
