Abstract excerpt
Immune responses of infected animals and humans have been reported to be directed against variable outer membrane proteins of Ehrlichia species that are encoded by polymorphic multigene families. In Ehrlichia (= Cowdria) ruminantium, two immunodominant proteins have been identified, namely major antigenic protein 1 (MAP1) and open reading frame 2 (ORF2). The aim of the present study was to identify additional...
