DEFINITION

Classification: 435/342

Binds a parasitic protozoan or metazoan cell or component or product thereof (e.g., Dirofilaria, Eimeria, Coccidia, Trichinella, parasite cell surface antigen, etc.):

(under subclass 332) Subject matter involving an animal cell which produces a monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof whose antigen-binding site(s) will combine with an integral or isolated part of a parasitic protozoan or metazoan cell, or with a substance shed or secreted by a parasitic protozoan or metazoan cell.

(1) Note. Metazoan parasites include such multicellular organisms as the parasitic flatworms and roundworms.
