The STELLUX[R] Chemi Glucagon ELISA is highly specific with 100% cross-reactivity to glucagon, and does not cross-react with other proglucagon peptides such as oxyntomodulin, glicentin and the incretins glucagon-like peptide-1 and gastric inhibitory polypeptide.

showed this dot immunogold filtration assay for sparganosis mansoni has light cross-reactivity to clonorchiasis (8%) and serious cross-reactivity to paragonimiasis (52%).[6] Although Spirometra mansoni spargana could parasitize in many different human tissues, the parasitizing in lung is infrequent.[7] What's most important is that sparganosis mansoni is usually caused by the ingestion of raw meat of frogs or snakes.[7]
