Inhibition of penetration of cultured cells by Eimeria bovis sporozoites by monoclonal immunoglobulin G antibodies against the parasite surface protein P20.

abstract：:Campylobacter fetus surface layer proteins (SLPs), encoded by sapA homologues, are important in virulence. In wild-type C. fetus strain 23D, all eight sapA homologues are located in the 54-kb sap island, and SLP expression reflects the position of a unique sapA promoter in relation to the sapA homologues. The extensiv...
