DEFINITION

Classification: 530/388.6

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

(under subclass 388.2) Subject matter involving 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.
