PIROPLASMA PROTOZOAN KILLING PEPTIDE PROTEIN OF IXODID TICKS, NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULE ENCODING THE SAME AND USE THEREOF

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain protein related to treatment and infection prevention of parasitic protozoiasis of erythrocyte of a protozoan belonging to the phylum Apicomplexian such as piroplasma protozoan, etc., and a DNA encoding the same and to provide a method for use thereof. PSOLUTION: The protein comprises a DNA encoding piroplasma protozoan killing peptide protein of ixodid ticks. The vector comprises the DNA. The recombinant cell comprises the DNA. The piroplasma protozoan killing peptide protein, its synthetic peptide, the antibody recognizing the antigen and the antigen are obtained. The compound is obtained from the piroplasma protozoan killing peptide protein for exterminating piroplasma protozoa. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
