摘要
An 11-kDa protein occurring as a major component of the non-glycosylated fraction of 4th larval stage (L4) and adult Trichostrongylus colubriformis excretory-secretory (ES) fluid has been found to be highly protective in guinea pigs, an alternate host for T. colubriformis. The protein has been purified, characterised and partly sequenced. With a reverse-complement oligonucleotide based on the carboxy-terminal sequence of the protein, recombinant lambda-gt11 clones were detected in an L4 cDNA library. The DNA sequence from one clone has a single extended open reading frame coding for a highly charged 11-kDa protein which lacks a leader sequence and contains a potential N-glycosylation site. Expression of the cloned DNA in Escherichia coli was detected with an antibody, raised in rabbits against gel-purified 11-kDa protein.
