  • Immunization against Babesiosis using purified merozoite surface antigens of Basesia bigemina
    Patent number: 5209929
    Abstract: Antigenic surface proteins from the intraerythrocytic merozoite stage of Babesia bigemina have been isolated using cell fusions and monoclonal antibodies produced thereby. Immunization of mammals, such as bovines, with purified isolates induces an immunological response that is effective to reduce pathological effects of babesiosis induced by Babesia bigemina. Diagnostic kits using monoclonal antibodies and antigenic surface proteins of Babesia bigemina are also disclosed.
