Identification of Eimeria bovis merozoite cDNAs using differential mRNA display.

abstract：:The major merozoite-piroplasm surface antigen (mMPSA) of Theileria annulata, Tams1, is known to be antigenically diverse. The possession of variable N-linked glycosylation sites and removal of monoclonal antibody 5E1 reactivity by mild periodate treatment suggested, previously, that divergent epitopes may be conferred...
