Description: The main objective of this study was to search for the most immunoreactive native proteins of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) by carrying out a serological analysis of anti-T. cruzi antibodies in sera from patients with Chagas disease. Following this, an immunoreactive analysis of potential antigens was performed. Next, a group of sera where chosen to search for IgM and IgG antibodies by in-house ELISA, which was optimized in this study. The most reactive sera detected by ELISA were used for a profile analysis of the proteins by western blotting in order to identify the predominant immunogenic proteins from T. cruzi that develop humoral immune response in patients in the chronic stage of Chagas disease
