Albendazole Monoclonal Antibody (3H2), Invitrogen™

Description

• Antibody tested in indirect ELISA Anthelmintics or anti-helminthics are a class of drugs that are effective against a range of intestinal parasitic worms (helminths)
• Parasitic helminths must maintain an appropriate feeding site
• Nematodes and trematodes must actively ingest and move food through their digestive tracts to maintain an appropriate energy state; these together with reproductive processes require a well defined and developed neuromuscular coordination
• Anthelmintic treatment is a multi-targeting system designed to interfere with the integrity of parasite cells
• The pharmacologic basis of the treatment for helminths involves the targeting of neuromuscular coordination, or protective mechanisms against host immunity, which lead to starvation, paralysis, and expulsion of the parasite
• The benzimidazole class of drugs were introduced in 1961 and interfere with the parasite's ATP pathway on a cellular level.
