Cryptosporidium parvum coproantigens (CCAg) of 18 and 20 kDa were identified in the stool eluates of calves and humans infected with Cryptosporidium species. Monospecific antibodies raised against the 20-kDa antigen recognized both 18- and 20-kDa CCAg in all positive but no negative control samples. These antibodies reacted with C. parvum sporozoites in an immunofluorescence assay. Human immune sera recognized the 20-kDa antigen in infected calf stool eluates. Both 18- and 20-kDa CCAg remained intact in commonly used preservatives and at various temperatures. These CCAg may be useful in designing sensitive, reliable methods for diagnosing cryptosporidiosis. |
