[Subject Matter] Animal Health [Docket] 154.1 [Title] REAGENTS TO DETECT GIARDIA LAMBLIA TROPHOZOITES AND CYSTS [Description] 
Antisera were prepared in rabbits using recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli. While antisera provides a high titer reagent to detect G. lamblia cysts and trophozoites, monoclonal antibodies could also be prepared that recognize these giardin proteins. These could provide an unlimited supply of detection reagent without the need to repeatedly immunize animals to obtain antisera.
