A Babesia caballi gene encoding the 134-kDa (BC134) protein was immunoscreened with B. caballi-infected horse serum. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using recombinant BC134 protein could effectively differentiate B. caballi-infected horse sera from Babesia equi-infected or noninfected control horse sera. These results suggest that the recombinant BC134 protein is a potential diagnostic antigen in the detection of B. caballi infection.
用感染马巴贝斯虫的马血清对编码134-kDa(BC134)蛋白的马巴贝斯虫基因进行免疫筛选。使用重组BC134蛋白的酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)能够有效地区分感染马巴贝斯虫的马血清与感染驽巴贝斯虫或未感染的对照马血清。这些结果表明,重组BC134蛋白是检测马巴贝斯虫感染的一种潜在诊断抗原。
