摘要
Disclosed are DnA sequences which code for antigenic proteins, methods for identifying such DNA sequences, and antigens coded for by such DNA sequences.PPThe first step of the method is to provide a multiplicity of DNA sequences. These sequences are then inserted into DNA expression vectors to form recombinant expression vectors. The expression vectors are inserted into suitable hosts to form transformants which express the DNA sequences. The transformants are then contacted with antibodies directed against Eimeria antigens to identify transformants containing DNA sequences which code for Eimeria antigens. These antigens are then produced from the DNA sequences identified as coding for the antigens. The antigens so produced are contacted with white blood cells which effect a cell-mediated immune response, which white blood cells are sensitized to an antigenic Eimeria protein, to thereby identify DNA sequences which code for antigens that induce a cell- mediated immune response to avian coccidiosis.PPThe DNA sequences of the present invention comprise cloned genes or fragments thereof that code on expression for an antigenic protein that activates white blood cells which effect a cell-mediated immune response, which white blood cells are sensitized to an antigenic Eimeria protein.
