Studies of Culture-Derived Soluble Babesia Bovis Antigens: Purification, Characterization and Application in Serodiagnosis

Abstract

dc:description

Analytical purification of soluble antigens from crude supernatant fluids of Babesia bovis cultures was conducted by various immunoadsorption procedures using horse anti-B. bovis IgG. A Protein A-Sepharose CL-4B adsorbent proved the most efficient as 58 mg of antigen could be purified from 34 ml of culture fluid. Isolated antigens were identified by crossed immunoelectrophoresis.
