This paper reviews papers that deals with bovine lymphocyte antigen (BoLA) system. It discusses when characterization of the bovine MHC began, workshops conducted and their concerns which included serological characterization of the products of the MHC, the bovine lymphocyte antigen (BoLA) system...
Species: RuminantsTheileria parva is an intracellular protozoal parasite which causes East Coast Fever (ECF), a major constraint to cattle production in eastern and southern Africa. Characteristics of the protective CD8+ T-cell response against T. parva suggest it is focused on a limited number o...

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...

East coast fever (ECF) is a major tick-borne disease caused by the apicomplexan parasite Theileria parva (1). ECF is an acute leukemia-like disease of cattle that is endemic in eastern, central and souther Africa, where it is responsible for significant mortality and losses in animal production. ...

Evidence for ADP-ribosylation and G protein in Theileria parva-transformed bovine lymphocytes
The protozoan parasite Theileria parva infects and transforms bovine lymphocytes, giving rise to a fatal lympho-proliferative condition known as East Coast fever. Although immune cattle mount strong cytolytic T. lymphocyte responses to the parasite, naive animals appear unable to respond and deve...

There is growing evidence that immunity of cattle to Cowdria ruminantium infection is mediated by T lymphocytes. C. ruminantium antigens that stimulate these responses are therefore of considerable importance to the development of a sub-unit vaccine against the disease. We have examined T cell re...

Enhancement of the induction of cytotoxic T-cell responses by immunostimulatory CpG oligodeoxynucleotides has been described in humans and mouse models. The present study attempted to address whether CpG has a similar effect in cattle. Immunisation of cattle with a recombinant form of the polymor...

Theileria parva is the causal agent of East Coast fever (ECF), a fatal disease of cattle characterized by pyrexia, transient lymphadenopathy and panleukopenia. We have evaluated monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against three distinct antigens (p67, PIM and p32) of the parasite as immunohistological re...

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...
