摘要
Clun Forest lambs were injected with a fraction containing integral membrane glycoproteins derived from the intestinal microvilli of Haemonchus contortus in two equal doses of 0-5, 5, 50 or 500 mug protein and then challenged with 10 000 infective larvae. The time-course of serum specific antibody responses were determined. Compared to the adjuvant control group, the animals injected with 1 000 mug protein were better than 84% protected and those injected with 100 mug, better than 95% protected by all criteria. For these two groups parasite egg output was reduced 99% on average over the patent period. Two of the animals injected with 10 ug protein were partially protected, with 86% reduction in egg output. Two animals in the group injected with 1 mug protein also showed partial protection. Antibody level correlated with protection.
