Immunologic Characterization of Soluble Antigen Derived From Cell Culture of Babesia Bovis
Abstract
dc:descriptionSoluble cell culture derived antigens of Babesia bovis were studied for their biophysical and chemical properties. The fraction found to be antigenically active by in vitro test and immunogenically potent by inoculation of susceptible animals was thermostable, sensitive to 2-mercaptoethanol, and subject to a partial and a complete destruction by papain and alpha-amlase, respectively. Accordingly, soluble B. bovis antigen appears to be a polysacharide-protein entity or more specifically a relatively heat stable glycoprotein.
