Characterization of the gene encoding the polymorphic immunodominant molecule, a neutralizing antigen of Theileria parva
1 Aug 1995
Abstract excerpt
Theileria parva, a tick-transmitted protozoan parasite related to Plasmodium spp., causes the disease East Coast fever, an acute and usually fatal lymphoproliferative disorder of cattle in Africa. Previous studies using sera from cattle that have survived infection identified a polymorphic immunodominant molecule (PIM) that is expressed by both the infective sporozoite stage of the parasite and the intracellular...
