Previous studies using monoclonal antibody (mAb) 4C9 specific for a 32 kDa antigen (p32) of Theileria parva demonstrated expression of the antigen on the surface of the sporozoite, making it a potential antigen for sporozoite neutralization. A full-length cDNA encoding the major merozoite/piropla...

A monoclonal antibody (MAb)Tv27 employed in an antigen-detection enzyme immunosorbent assay (Ag-ELISA) for diagnosis of Trypanosoma vivax infection was shown to react with a T. vivax-specific protein of an approximate molecular weight of 10 kDa. This protein is diffusely distributed throughout th...

To identify the genes encoding novel immunodominant antigens of Theileria parvo a ?gt11 library of piroplasm genomic DNA was immunoscreened with bovine recovery serum and a gene encoding a 150 kDa antigen (p150) was identified. The predicted polypeptide contains an N-terminal secretory signal seq...
