Babesia gibsoni rhoptry-associated protein 1 and its potential use as a diagnostic antigen.
A cDNA encoding the rhoptry-associated protein 1 (RAP-1) homologue was obtained by immunoscreening an expression library prepared from Babesia gibsoni merozoite mRNA. The complete nucleotide sequence of the gene was 1740bp. Computer analysis suggested that the sequence contains an open reading frame of 1425bp encoding an expected protein with a molecular weight of 52kDa. Based on the sequence s...
متن کاملCellular localization of Babesia bovis merozoite rhoptry-associated protein 1 and its erythrocyte-binding activity.
The cellular localization of Babesia bovis rhoptry-associated protein 1 (RAP-1) and its erythrocyte-binding affinity were examined with anti-RAP-1 antibodies. In an indirect immunofluorescent antibody test, RAP-1 was detectable in all developmental stages of merozoites and in extracellular merozoites. In the early stage of merozoite development, RAP-1 appears as a dense accumulation, which late...
متن کاملExpression of C-terminal truncated and full-length Babesia bigemina rhoptry-associated protein 1 and their potential use in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Recombinant antigen-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the serological diagnosis of Babesia bigemina infection by using a full-length B. bigemina rhoptry-associated protein 1 (rRAP-1) and the truncated C-terminal RAP-1 (rRAP-1/CT). While the rRAP-1 showed cross reactivity between B. bigemina- and Babesia bovis-infected bovine sera, the rRAP-1/CT was highly specifi...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Characterization of Babesia orientalis Rhoptry Neck 2 BoRON2 Protein
Babesiosis caused by Babesia orientalis is one of the most prevalent infections of water buffalo transmitted by Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides causing a parasitic and hemolytic disease. The organelles proteins localized in apical membrane especially rhoptries neck and microneme protein form a complex called moving junction important during invasion process of parasites belonging to apicomplexan...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibody against Babesia equi: characterization and potential application of antigen for serodiagnosis.
Monoclonal antibody (MAb) BEG3 was produced against Babesia equi parasites to define a species-specific antigen for diagnostic use. The MAb reacted with single, paired, and Maltese cross forms of B. equi, and no reaction was observed with this MAb on acetone-fixed Babesia caballi, Babesia ovata, or Babesia microti parasites in the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test. Confocal laser and imm...
