Zooflagellates: Flagellated Protozoan Antibodies

Overview

We offer antibodies which detect several flagellated protozoan species, commonly referred to as zooflagellates, and classified within the group called Sarcomastigophora. Our products include antibodies for Trypanosoma, Giardia, Trichomonas, and Leishmania parasites. These protozoans are involved in a wide variety of human diseases.

Protozoans are challenging to research due to their complex life cycles. Their life cycle stage often requires an alternative cultivation, diagnosis, and target antigens. This makes the selection of the correct antibody even more important. Please contact our Technical Support team if you require any help or advice.
