As a first step in developing compartment-specific markers for protein trafficking within Theileria parva, we have isolated cDNAs encoding homologues of the small GTP binding proteins Rab1 and Rab4. The T. parva homologue of Rab1 (TpRab1), a protein which regulates vesicular transport between the...

Theileria are tick-transmitted, haemoprotozoan parasites infecting wild and domestic ungulates throughout many areas of the world. The most economically important species are T. parva and T. annulata which are pathogenic to cattle, and T. lestoquardi (syn hirci) which is pathogenic to sheep and g...

Four monoclonal antibodies were produced against endozoite membrane and cytoplasmic antigens of B. besnoiti. In immunofluorescence antibody tests, three of the clones, designated 2M3C5, 2M1G8 and 2M9G3 recognized antigens restricted to the anterior pole of the endozoites. The fourth clone, 2M9C4,...

Theileria annulata and Theileria parva both poses a major surface antigen on the sporozoite stage of the life-cycle, called SPAG-1 and p67, respectively. In each case, these antigens are vaccine candidates and have been shown to induce a degree of homologous protection in earlier work. These anti...

Field and experimental bovine infection sera were used in immunoblots of sporozoite and schizont lysates of Theileria parva to identify candidate diagnostic antigens. Four parasite antigens of Mr 67,000 (p67), 85,000 (the polymorphic immunodominant molecule, PIM), 104,000 (p104), and 150,000 (p15...

Theileria parva is an intracellular sporozoan parasite that infects and transforms bovine lymphocytes, causing a severe lymphoproliferative disease known as East Coast fever in eastern, central and southern Africa. In this article, Declan McKeever and colleagues summarize the current understandin...

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules are ubiquious cell surface molecules involved in the cell-mediated immune response. We show here, using a number of different, independent approaches, that these proteins are an essential component of the host cell surface receptor invo...

Concerted evolution of multicopy gene families in vertebrates is recognized as an important force in the generation of biological novelty but has not been documented for the multicopy genes of protozoa. A multicopy locus, Tpr, which consists of tandemly arrayed open reading frames (ORFs) containi...

Full-length recombinant versions of p67, the 709 amino acid major surface protein of Theileria parva sporozoites, induce immunity to East Coast fever (ECF) in cattle. We show that a soluble Escherichia coli recombinant version of p67 (p67635), in which a prokaryotic signal peptide replaces the e...
