  • DNA sequence encoding surface protein of cryptosporidium parvum
    Patent number: 5591434
    Abstract: Recombinant proteins have been developed for the immunization of animals against cryptosporidiosis. The Proteins are effective for the immunization of a variety of animals against Cryptosporidium parvum, particularly for the production of hyperimmune colostrum that may be used to confer passive immunity against the parasite. Isolated DNA sequences which encode these proteins have also been developed. The DNA sequences may be inserted into recombinant DNA molecules such as cloning vectors or expression vectors for the transformation of cells and the production of the proteins.
