## Abstract We used the EIEโRecombinantโChagasโBiomanguinhos kit (EIEโRec kit) developed by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Brazil, to monitor cure of chagasic patients who were treated during the acute phase of __T. cruzi__ infection. Treated patients were previously studied by parasitological and se

## Abstract The wide range of clinical Chagas' disease manifestations, of which heart involvement is the most significant, because of its characteristics, frequency and consequences, and lack of treatment and cure, justify research in this area. Specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody subclasses h
This report describes differences in humoral immune response of acute and chronic phases of human Chagas disease. The reactivities of IgG, IgM, and IgA anti-Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies in serum samples from both groups of patients were compared by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) employing
Protective, lytic antibodies are believed to be correlated with active Pypanosoma cruzi infection. In patients with chronic infection, antibodies lysing trypomastigote forms recognize chiefly a-galactosyl structures at the parasite surface. The target molecules on cell-derived trypomastigotes that r
