Rodpai R, Sadaow L, Boonroumkaew P, et al. - In this study, an immunochromatographic test (Sj-ICT) was developed that may aid in detecting anti-Schistosoma japonicum IgG antibodies in human sera. Researchers used somatic extract from adult S. japonicum as an antigen. They developed and optimized the Sj-ICT as a point-of-care testing. All 214 human serum samples were subjected to examine its diagnostic utility and compare with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Findings support the utility of the developed kit for supporting clinical diagnosis as well as for large-scale surveys in endemic areas without necessitating additional facilities or ancillary supplies.
