Abstract excerpt
SPAG-1, a Theileria annulata sporozoite surface antigen, is a vaccine candidate. Data is presented, based on the clonal segregation of SPAG-1 associated RFLPs, showing that this antigen is encoded by a single copy gene. We have cloned and sequenced a full-length genomic copy of the SPAG-1 gene an...
