Abstract: Chimeric gene formed by the DNA sequences that encode the antigenic determinants of four proteins of L. infantum, useful for the serological diagnosis of canine Leishmaniosis and protein obtained, that consists of the prior employment of a cloning strategy. The patent describes the intermediate products generated during the process. A clone is achieved expressed in the protein rLiPO-Ct-Q (pPQI). To this initial vector, by means of the use of suitable restriction targets, DNA fragments are sequentially added that are encoded in other proteins and after each cloning step the correct orientation of each one of the inserts reduces the size of the expression products, the complete nucleotide sequence of the final pPQV clone being determined. A polypeptide is obtained with a molecular mass of 38 kD and with an isoelectric point of 7.37.

Abstract: A composition and method for stimulating an immune response against an antigen in immunised individuals or in cell groups. The composition comprises a protein called Lip2a Leishmania formed by a sequence of amino acids coded for by a sequence of DNA that comprises the nucleotides: 1-1 of nos. 778 to 1231 of SEQ. ID NO !1-2 or formed by a sequence of nucleotides able to hybridise with the sequence described in 1-1 under moderately strict hybridisation conditions and which would therefore code for a protein similar to Lip2a. The method comprises incubating said cells with said Lip2a protein in the presence or not of an antigen specific to a disease or infection.
