Recognition of LPG by a pool of serum samples taken from dogs with confirmed Leishmania infantum infection.
The LPG solution was separated using a SDS-PAGE system, transferred to nitrocellulose paper and incubated with (Li+) a pool of serum samples from dogs with a confirmed L. infantum infection, (Li-) a pool of serum samples from non-endemic area dogs, a pool of serum samples from dogs with a confirmed L. braziliensis infection, and pools of serum samples that were experimentally infected with T. cruzi and in the (AP) acute phase or (CP) chronic phase of the infection.
