Abstract
⺠Taenia solium and Taenia crassiceps are phylogenetically related. ⺠Synthetic mimotope of T. solium (NC-1) conjugated to BSA was used as immunogen. ⺠NC-1/BSA elicited protection to mice challenged intraperitoneally with T. crassiceps. ⺠NC-1/BSA antibodies immunostained proteins from T. crassiceps cisticercus. ⺠NC-1 is a good candidate to compose vaccine against human and animal cysticercosis.
