Rinnert and Beck compared Ni-NTA coated surfaces (HisSorb plates, QIAGEN) with polystyrene plates in diagnosis of schistosomiasis by immunoassay using 6xHis-tagged Schistosoma mansoni antigen Sm32. Application of infected serum samples from school children in Mali resulted in good ELISA signals in the case of antigen directly oriented on the Ni-NTA surface whereas the signals were in the range of the uninfected control sera when the antigen was randomly adsorbed to polystyrene.
