Abstract
in English, French

A newly developed immunohistochemical test was used for the first time to demonstrate the presence of Taenia saginata (Cysticercus bovis) antigens in the lymph nodes of a heifer calf experimentally inoculated with Taenia saginata eggs. The new test should aid in the differential diagnosis of eosinophilic lymphadenitis in cattle.

Résumé — Cysticercose bovine : observation préliminaire sur la détection immunohistochimique d’antigènes de Taenia saginata dans les ganglions lymphatiques d’un veau infecté expérimentalement. Un test immunohistochimique récemment mis au point a été utilisé pour la première fois afin de démontrer la présence d’antigènes de Taenia saginata (Cysticercus bovis) dans les ganglions lymphatiques d’une jeune génisse inoculée expérimentalement avec des œufs de Taenia saginata. Le nouveau test devrait aider à raffiner le diagnostic différentiel avec la lymphadénite eosinophilique chez les bovins.

Figure 1A and 1B
Section of the submaxillary lymph node of a 10-month-old calf following experimental infection with Taenia saginata. The paraffin-embedded lymph node was sectioned and stained by hematoxylin and eosin (A) or, immunohistochemically, by using monoclonal antibody to Taenia saginata (B). Inset box in (A) represents area of the tissue section shown in (B). c — cysticercus; cc — cysticerus cavity; cw — cysticercus wall; i — interface between cysticercus and lymph node tissue. Bar = 1 mm.
