The expression and characterization of a recombinant antigen termed Ov-47 are described. Ov-47 was identified and isolated from a lambda gt-11 eDNA expression library derived from adult female Onclrucercu volvukrs mRNA using rabbit antiserum raised against the surface proteins of O. vulvulcw fema...

Molecular and phenotypic characterisation of mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
The development of a sterilizing and cost-effective vaccine against malaria remains a major problem despite recent advances. In this study, it is demonstrated that two antigens of P. falciparum UB05, UB09 and their chimera UB05-09 can serve as protective immunity markers by eliciting higher T-cel...
