Abstract:
An isolated protein or truncated protein of at least about 5 contiguous amino acids encoded by a nucleic acid molecule that hybridizes only with a nucleic acid molecule having a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of:a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ ID NO:9, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:15, SEQ ID NO:17, SEQ ID NO:20, SEQ ID NO:22, SEQ ID NO:26, SEQ ID NO:29, SEQ ID NO:32, SEQ ID NO:35, SEQ ID NO:38, SEQ ID NO:52, SEQ ID NO:59 and SEQ ID NO:61;or an isolated protein comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of: SEQ ID NO:39, SEQ ID NO:40, SEQ ID NO:41, SEQ ID NO:42, SEQ ID NO:43, SEQ ID NO:44, SEQ ID NO:53, SEQ ID NO:54 and SEQ ID NO:55 or a truncated protein thereof having at least about 5 contiguous amino acids,wherein the protein or truncated protein is capable of eliciting a specific immune response against arthropod esterase proteins.
