Como perspectivas para este trabalho têm-se: o estudo da toxicidade destes sistemas obtidos em tecidos animais; a utilização dos sistemas para o processo de marcação celular e investigação mais profunda da constituição das glicoproteínas presentes em células com alguma anomalia; fazer uso destes sistemas em futuros ensaios com imunoglobulinas em diagnósticos sorológicos para doenças negligenciadas e a produção de kits de diagnósticos de menor custo.
