TheBabesia bovisMerozoite Surface Antigen 2 Locus Contains Four Tandemly Arranged and Expressed Genes Encoding Immunologically Distinct Proteins

1 Jul 2002

Abstract excerpt

Members of the variable merozoite surface antigen (vmsa) gene family of Babesia bovis encode membrane proteins involved in erythrocyte invasion. In this study, we have identified and sequenced the complete 8.3-kb genomic locus containing msa-2, a member of the vmsa family, in the biologically cloned Mexico Mo7 strain. Four tandemly arranged copies of msa-2-related genes were found in the locus. The four genes,...
