ABSTRACT:
A stable antigen useful in the detection of Fasciola hepatica (or liver fluke) infections is disclosed. The antigen may be found in feces, bile, and intestinal contents. Monoclonal antibodies useful in detecting the antigen are disclosed. The method of this invention facilitates the detection of current Fasciola hepatica infections.
