Substantially pure antigenic surface proteins of Anaplasma marginale have been identified, and are capable of inducing immune responses in ruminants which neutralizes virulent Anaplasma marginale. The antigenic surface proteins have one or more components having a molecular weight of about 105,000 daltons, 86,000 daltons, 61,000 daltons, 36,000 daltons, 31,000 daltons, or 15,000 daltons, and can be purified by an immunoaffinity chromatography process comprising the steps of disrupting Anaplasma marginale initial bodies by treatment with a detergent, passing the disrupted initial bodies over a chromatography column comprising an insoluble matrix coupled to monoclonal anti- bodies against a determinant on said antigenic surface protein to selectively bind said antigenic surface protein to said monoclonal antibodies and recovering the bound substantially pure antigenic surface protein from said insoluble matrix. The antigens have further utility in diagnostic tests for anaplasmosis. They can be synthesized by polypeptide procedures or by genetic engineering.
已鉴定出相当纯净的边疫疟原虫抗原表面蛋白,它们能够诱导反刍动物产生免疫反应,从而中和毒性边疫疟原虫。抗原表面蛋白具有一种或多种成分,其分子量约为 105,000 道尔顿、86,000 道尔顿、61,000 道尔顿、36,000 道尔顿、31,000 道尔顿或 15,000 道尔顿,可通过免疫亲和层析工艺纯化,该工艺包括以下步骤:用去污剂处理边缘疟原虫的初始体、将破坏的初始体通过色谱柱,色谱柱包括不溶性基质,该不溶性基质与针对所述抗原表面蛋白上的决定因子的单克隆抗体偶联,以选择性地将所述抗原表面蛋白与所述单克隆抗体结合,并从所述不溶性基质中回收结合的纯度相当高的抗原表面蛋白。抗原在无形体病的诊断检测中还有进一步的用途。它们可以通过多肽程序或基因工程合成。
