ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to particular monoclonal antibodies that find use in the identification and purification ofSarcocystis neuronaand related antigens. In particular, these antibodies permit the diagnosis ofSarcocystisrelated diseases such as equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM).
