RECOMBINANT ANTIGENS USEFUL FOR THE SERODIAGNOSIS OF NEOSPOROSIS

Antigens for the detection of antibodies to Neospora parasites for the diagnosis of neosporosis have been identified. Recombinant antigens may be produced by expression of DNA sequences derived from Neospora caninum. Both antigens are capable of detecting antibody responses in animals experimentally...

Zusammenfassung:Antigens for the detection of antibodies to Neospora parasites for the diagnosis of neosporosis have been identified. Recombinant antigens may be produced by expression of DNA sequences derived from Neospora caninum. Both antigens are capable of detecting antibody responses in animals experimentally inoculated with N. caninum but show no evidence of cross-reactivity with serum from animals inoculated with closely related parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii or Sarcocystis species.
