Development and Application of an Assay to Evaluate the Anti-Parasitic Effect of Humoral Responses against .

Mounting a balanced and robust humoral immune response is of utmost importance for reducing the infectivity of . While the role of such a response in controlling the infection is well known, there is a lack of tools that can be used to quickly evaluate it. We developed a serum parasite inhibition assay (to evaluate changes in the parasite infection after exposing infective trypomastigotes to serum samples from infected patients).
