| Abstract | The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficiency of 14.5 kDa-Fasciola gigantica fatty acid binding protein (FABP) as a diagnostic antigen for human fascioliasis. 14.5 kDa FABP was isolated from the crude extract of adult F. gigantica worms by ion exchange chromatography followed by gel filtration chromatography and then analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under reducing condition. Anti-FABP IgG polyclonal antibody (pAb) was generated in rabbits and purified by using sequential use of ammonium sulfate, caprylic acid, and then ion exchange chromatography. Conjugation of purified rabbit anti-FABP IgG with horse reddish peroxidase (HRP) was conducted and used in detecting the coproantigen in the stool and the circulating Fasciola antigen (CA) in the sera of Fasciola-infected patients using sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The sensitivities of sandwich ELISA test were 96.43% and 94.74%, while the test specificities were 94.87% and 84.62% for the detection of coproantigen and CA, respectively. The parasitological diagnosis using the Kato–Katz technique revealed 64.29% sensitivity with 100% specificity. The diagnostic efficacy of sandwich ELISA was 95.52% for coproantigen and 87.93% for CA detection. In contrast, the diagnostic efficacy of Kato–Katz technique was 85.07%. It was concluded that 14.5 kDa FABP represented a valuable antigen for the immunodiagnosis of human fascioliasis using sandwich ELISA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
