Target Information
Adult worm soluble and structural antigens (AWSA) are proteins derived from the adult stage of various parasitic worms, including those causing diseases such as schistosomiasis and filariasis. These antigens are crucial for diagnostic and vaccine development efforts against helminthic infections. AWSA includes both soluble proteins, which are released into the host's bloodstream, and structural proteins, which are part of the worm's body. These antigens are immunogenic, meaning they can provoke an immune response in the host. The immune system recognizes these proteins as foreign, leading to the production of antibodies that can be detected in serological tests.
