Abstract

The present invention relates to a diagnostically useful carrier comprising a means for specifically capturing an antibody to p21 from Echinococcus multilocularis in a sample from a subject; a kit comprising the diagnostically useful carrier, preferably further comprising a means for detecting any captured antibody; a method comprising the step detecting the presence or absence of an antibody to p21 from Echinococcus multilocularis in a sample from a subject; a use of p21 from Echinococcus multilocularis or a variant thereof for increasing the diagnostic reliability, preferably the sensitivity of an assay for the detection of an Echinococcus infection, preferably for distinguishing an Echinococcus multilocularis infection from an Echinococcus granulosus infection; a polypeptide running at a molecular weight of 21 kDa from Echinococcus multilocularis, obtainable by separating according to molecular weight an extract from Echinococcus multilocularis using gel electrophoresis, or a variant thereof, or an antibody to said polypeptide.
