Fig. 6From: A novel colloidal gold immunochromatography assay strip for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica in domestic animalsLower limit of detection of the GICA strips. The S. japonicum-positive buffalo serum samples were serially diluted with 0.9% NaCl (pH 7.2) at ratios from 1:5 to 1:1280 and tested using GICA strips to determine the assay’s sensitivity. S. japonicum-negative buffalo serum sample was used as the negative control and 0.9% NaCl (pH 7.2) was used as the blank. Three independent experiments were performed in triplicateBack to article page
