Characterization and immunolocalization of a Cryptosporidium protein containing repeated amino acid motifs

Abstract excerpt

The oocyst wall is one of the components that permits cryptosporidia both to survive in the environment and to retain infectivity. With the aim of identifying Cryptosporidium proteins specifically expressed at the oocyst stage, we screened lambda gt11 genomic libraries of Cryptosporidium parvum with both an oocyst antiserum and a specific genetic probe. We isolated, from distinct libraries, two overlapping clones...
