Cloning of a cuticular antigen that contains multiple tandem repeats from the filarial parasite Dirofilaria immitis.
1 Jul 1992
Abstract excerpt
An unusual antigen composed of tandemly repeated protein units was cloned from the filarial parasite Dirofilaria immitis. The antigen was initially identified by screening a lambda gt11 cDNA library with serum from dogs immunized with irradiated D. immitis third-stage larvae. DNA sequence analysis of the cDNA clone, Di5, revealed a continuous open reading frame composed of two 399-base-pair repeats arranged in...
