Description: TITLE OF THE INVENTION GENETICALLY ENGINEERED COCCIDIOSIS VACCINE Cross-Reference to Related Applications This application is a Continuation-in-part of US Ser. No. 07/581,694, filed September 12, 1990. Field of the Invention This invention is in the field of avian coccidiosis and is directed to recombinant antigenic proteins of avian coccidia and to the genes that encode the proteins. These antigenic proteins may be used in a vaccine against avian coccidia. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Coccidiosis is a disease of both invertebrates and vertebrates, including man, caused by intracellular parasitic protozoa which generally invade the epithelial cells lining the alimentary tract and the cells of associated glands. The crowded conditions under which many domestic animals are raised have contributed to increased incidence of the disease. Virtually every domestic animal is susceptible to infection, and distribution of the parasite is world-wide. Coccidiosis is therefore the cause of signifi¬ cant economic loss throughout the world. The poultry industry suffers particularly severe losses, with coccidiosis being the most economically important parasitic disease of chickens. Since 1949, preventive anticoccidials have been used but have not been totally effective. Losses due to morbidity from coccidiosis, including reduced weight gains and egg production, and decreased feed conversion, persist. The cost of coccidiosis in broiler production has been estimated at 1/2 to 1 cent per pound. Based on an annual production of 3,000,000,000 broilers annually in the United States, losses would total between 60 and 120 million dollars. To this figure must be added the cost of anticoccidials estimated at 35 million dollars. These impressive figures emphasize the importance of reducing the incidence of coccidiosis in chickens. Of the nine genera of coccidia known to infect birds, the genus Eimeria contains the most economically important species. Various species of Eimeria infect a wide range of hosts, including mammals, but nine species have been recognized as being pathogenic to varying degrees in chickens: Eimeria acervulina. E. mivati. E. mitis. E. praecox. E. hagani, E. necatrix-, E. maxima, E. brunetti and E. tenella. Although the Eimeria are highly host specific, their life cycles are similar. The developmental stages of the avian coccidia can be illustrated by the species Eimeria tenella. which proliferates in the cecum of the chicken. The life cycle of the Eimeria species begins when the host ingests previously sporulated oocysts during ground feeding or by inhalation of dust Mechanical and chemical action in the gizzard and intestinal tract of the chicken ruptures the sporulated oocyst, liberating eight sporozoites. The sporozoites are carried in the digestive contents and infect various portions of the intestinal tract by penetration of epithelial cells. Subsequent life stages involve asexual multiple fission, the infection of other epithelial cells, development of gametes, and fertilization to produce a zygote which becomes an oocyst which is passed out of the host with the droppings. The oocyst undergoes nuclear and cellular division resulting in the formation of sporozoites, with sporulation being dependent upon environmental conditions. Ingestion of the sporulated oocyst by a new host transmits the disease. Of all species of Eimeria. E. tenella has received the most attention. E. tenella is an extremely pathogenic species, with death often occurring on the fifth or sixth day of infection. Before the use of chemotherapeutic agents, poultry producers' attempts to control coccidiosis were limited to various management programs. These programs were directed toward attempts at sanitation through disinfection, or by mechanical removal of litter. Despite these efforts, sufficient oocysts usually remained to transmit the disease. One means of combating the hazards of coccidia is immunization. This method involves feeding to the poultry a small dose of oocysts of each of the species of coccidia during the first weeks of life. However, dosage control has proven difficult as birds ingest daughter oocysts, with some birds developing severe coccidiosis and others remaining susceptible. Also, since this procedure produces mixed infections, sometimes adequate immunity does not develop to all species given. In addition, immunity development is too slow for use with broiler production. Another means of combating coccidia is drug treatment after the poultry is infected. One drug that has been used is sulfanilamide which has shown anticoccidial activity against six species of coccidia. However, unless the drug treatment of the flock is quickly initiated after diagnosis of the disease, medication may be started too late to be effective. Ideally, the best method for combating coccidia is preventive medication. Since the advent of the use of sulfonamide drugs, over forty compounds have been marketed for preventive medication against coccidia. There have been many problems with the use of such drugs, including anticoccidial contamination of layer flock feeds, inclusion of excessive anticoccidial drugs in the feed causing toxicity in the birds and omission of the anticoccidial from the feed resulting in coccidiosis outbreaks. A particularly frustrating problem has been the development of drug-resistant strains of coccidia. Moreover, there is a potential for drug residues being deposited in the meat Clearly, available methods for the control of coccidiosis have met with limited success, and the need for a safe, efficient, and inexpensive method of combating avian coccidiosis remains. The development of an effective anticoccidial vaccine is a desirable solution to the problem of disease prevention. Vaccines produced by traditional methods will require extensive development There are reports of the production of attenuated strains through passage in embryos or cell culture. While this approach may eventually lead to successful vaccines, not all the important species of Eimeria have been adapted to growth in culture or embryos such that they are capable of completing their life cycle. Genetic engineering methodology presents the opportunity for an alternative approach to vaccine development. It is known that genes encoding antigenic proteins of pathogenic organisms can be cloned into microorganisms. The antigenic proteins then can be expressed at high levels, purified, and used as vaccines against the pathogenic organism. These antigenic proteins have the advantage of being noninfectious and are potentially inexpensive to produce. Such "subunit vaccines" have been prepared from antigen genes for a number of viruses such as hepatitis, herpes simplex and foot and mouth disease virus. An alternate approach is to produce "synthetic vaccines", small chemically-synthesized peptides, whose sequence is chosen based upon the amino acid sequence translation of viral antigen DNA. The advantages of such "synthetic vaccines" over traditional vaccination with attenuated or killed pathogenic organisms have been summarized by Lerner in Nature 299:592-596 (1982). It is now possible to produce foreign proteins, including eukaryotic proteins, in prokaryotic organisms such as gram positive or gram negative bacteria. The process involves the insertion of DNA (derived either from enzymatic digestion of cellular DNA or by reverse transcription of mRNA) into an expression vector. Such expression vectors are derived from either plasmids or bacteriophage and contain: (1) an origin of replication functional in a microbial host cell; (2) genes encoding selectable markers, and (3) regulatory sequences including a promoter, operator, and a ribosome binding site which are functional in a microbial host cell and which direct the transcription and translation of foreign DNA inserted downstream from the regulatory sequences. To increase protein production and stability, eukaryotic proteins are often produced in prokaryotic cells as a fusion with sequences from the amino-terminus of a prokaryotic protein. β-Galactosidase or the product of one of the E. coli tryptophan operon genes have been used successfully in this manner. Expression vectors have also been developed for expression of foreign proteins in eukaryotic host cells, e.g., yeast and Chinese hamster ovary tissue culture cells. Host cells transformed with expression vectors carrying foreign genes are grown in culture under conditions known to stimulate production of the foreign protein in the particular vector. Such host cell/expression vector systems are often engineered so that expression of the foreign protein may be regulated by chemical or temperature induction. Proteins which are secreted may be isolated from the growth media, while intracellular proteins may be isolated by harvesting and lysing the cells and separating the intracellular components. In this manner, it is possible to produce comparatively large amounts of proteins that are otherwise difficult to purify from native sources. Such microbially produced proteins may be characterized by many well-known methods, including the use of monoclonal antibodies, hereinafter referred to as "MAbs," which are homogeneous antibodies that react specifically with a single antigenic determinant and display a constant affinity for that determinant, or by use of polyvalent antibodies, which may be derived from infected birds or other animals that have been immunized with life forms of Eimeria or with Eimeria protein, which react with a variety of different antigens and often with multiple determinants on a single antigen. Alternate technology to the production of "subunit" or "synthetic" vaccines is the use of a fowl pox virus vector. The pox virus vaccinia has a long history of use as a vaccine and has been employed to virtually irradicate smallpox in humans. It now has been demonstrated that vaccinia virus can be effectively genetically engineered to express foreign antigens (Smith et al.. Nature 302:490-495 (1983); Panicali et al.. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80:5364-5368 (1983); Mackett et al.. J. of Virology 49:857-864 (1984)) and the engineered viruses can serve as a live vaccine against other viruses and infections besides smallpox. Fowl pox virus is very similar to vaccinia virus and many of the methods developed for vaccinia for the creation of recombinants expressing foreign antigens can be applied to fowl pox. Attenuated fowl pox virus engineered to produce avian coccidia antigens thus is another method to produce an anticoccidial vaccine. Live vaccines have the advantage of being inexpensive to produce and are characterized by the production of rapid immunity development A second type of live vaccine results in the presentation of antigen in the gut where coccidia normally invades. This method utilizes secretion or outer surface expression of the antigen by harmless bacteria introduced into the intestinal microbial population by incorporation in feed. Secretion is obtained by fusion of an antigen gene to the gene coding for a protein which is normally secreted, leaving the necessary secretion signal sequence intact Outer surface expression is achieved by fusion of the antigen genes to the genes that code for proteins normally localized on the outer surface. (T. Silhavy, U.S. Patent No. 4,336,336.) This type of live vaccine is especially advantageous since manufacturing costs are minimal and the immune response stimulated is of a type particularly effective against coccidia invasion of the gut A third type of live vaccine is the use of live recombinant bacteria expressing Eimeria antigens, which bacteria are injected subcutaneously or by other accepted routes, and which elicit an immune response to the expressed antigen (Miller et al. Infect Immun. 57:2014-2020 (1989). When compared to purified antigen or inactivated bacterial vaccines (bacterins), the live bacterial vaccine resulted in a more protective immune response. The subunit vaccines can also be used to raise an immune response against coccidiosis in ovo using techniques described by, for example, Hebrank U.S. Patent No. 4,681,063, Hebrank, EPC Patent Application No. 87306746.7, and Smith et al. EPC Patent Application No. 88303349.0. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to novel recombinant antigenic proteins of avian coccidiosis, and fragments thereof containing antigenic determi¬ nants, and to the genes that encode the antigenic peptides. It has now been found that particular polypeptides present in avian cells infected with coccidiosis, when purified and isolated, contain an antigenic determinant or determinants which can elicit an antibody response. This invention also relates to vaccines made using the novel antigenic proteins of avian coccidiosis and to methods of immunizing chickens against avian coccidia.

DFTAΠ FD DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The present invention relates to recombinant antigenic proteins, and fragments thereof containing antigenic determinants, that can elicit an antibody response against avian coccidiosis, and to the cloned genes that encode the antigenic proteins and fragments. These antigenic proteins, and the fragments thereof containing antigenic determinants, will bind with a specific monoclonal antibody or with polyvalent antibodies from infected chickens, or from other animals that have been immunized with life forms of Eimeria or Eimeria proteins, directed against an antige¬ nic protein of avian coccidia. The antigenic proteins of this invention may be used for several applications: (1) the protein(s) can be used in an avian coccidia assay to detect antibodies against the coccidia; (2) antibodies may be prepared from the antigenic protein(s); (3) the protein(s) can be used for preparing vaccines against avian coccidiosis. Antibodies directed against coccidial-antigens are used to identify, by immunological methods, transformed cells containing DNA encoding coccidial antigens. The MAbs are used as a tool for identifying cells containing DNA sequences encoding coccidial antigens that are either species specific or common to all nine species. Screening transformants with polyvalent chicken antiserum or chicken bile is used to identify DNA sequences encoding a wide spectrum of coccidial proteins which are antigenic in chickens upon infection. Screening transformants with poly- valent rat antiserum is used to identify DNA sequences encoding coccidia proteins, which are antigenic when injected subcutaneously in rats and which may be antigenic in chickens. DNA sequences from the trans¬ formants thus identified then may be incorporated into a microorganism for large scale protein production. The antigenic proteins, as native proteins or as hybrids with other proteins, may be used as vaccines to immunize birds to protect them from subsequent infection. In addition, the DNA sequences comprising the genes that encode antigenic proteins and fragments thereof may be used as DNA probes. These probes have a variety of uses, including screening a DNA library for additional genes that may encode antigenic determinants. The DNA probe may be labeled with a detectable group. Such detectable group can be any material having a detectable physical or chemical property. Such materials have been well-developed in the field of immunoassays and in general almost any label useful in such methods can be applied to the present invention. Particularly useful are enzymatically active groups, such as enzymes (see Clin. Chem. 22:1243 (1976)), enzyme substrates (see British Pat. Spec. 1,548,741), coenzymes (see U.S. Pat Nos. 4,230,797 and 4,238,565) and enzyme inhibitors (see U.S. Pat No. 4,134,792); fluorescers (see Clin. Chem. 25:353 (1979)); chromophores; luminescers such as chemiluminescers and bioluminescers (see Clin. Chem. 25:512 (1979)); specifically bindable ligands; proximal interacting pairs; and radioisotopes such as 3 H, 35 S, 32 P, 125 I and 14 C. Such labels and labeling pairs are detected on the basis of their own physical properties (e.g., fluorescers, chromophores and radioisotopes) or their reactive or binding properties (e.g., enzymes, substrates, coenzymes and inhibitors). For example, a cofactor-labeled probe can be detected by adding the enzyme for which the label is a cofactor and a substrate for the enzyme. For example, one can use an enzyme which acts upon a substrate to generate a product with a measurable physical property. Examples of the latter include, but are not limited to, beta-galactosidase, alkaline phosphatase and peroxidase. As used herein, the term "antigenic" or "antigenic determinant" is meant immunologically cross-reactive antigenic determinants with which a given antibody will react Therefore, the antigenic peptides of this invention will include chemically synthesized peptides, peptides made by recombinant DNA techniques, and antibodies or fragments thereof which are anti-idiotypic towards the determinant of the peptides of this invention. Several procedures may be used to construct a microorganism that produces an antigenic protein that binds with a monoclonal or polyvalent antibody that is directed against an antigenic protein of avian coccidia. One such procedure can be divided into the following major stages, each of which is described more fully herein: (1) recovery and isolation of messenger RNA (mRNA) found in organisms of the genus Eimeria; (2) in vitro synthesis of complementary DNA (cDNA), using coccicidia mRNA as a template; (3) insertion of the cDNA into a suitable expression vector and transformation of bacterial cells with that vector; and, (4) recovery and isolation of the cloned gene or gene fragment. This route is referred to as the mRNA route. The advantage to this route is that only "expressed" genes are cloned, reducing the number of individual transformants required to represent the entire population of genes. An alternative procedure can be divided into the following major stages which will also be described more fully herein: (1) recovery and isolation of nuclear DNA found in organisms of the genus Eimeria: (2) fragmentation of the DNA and insertion into a suitable vector; (3) transformation into a suitable microbial host; (4) selection of transformants containing a gene which specifies the antigen of interest; and, (5) recovery and isolation of the cloned gene or gene fragment This route is referred to as the nuclear DNA route. The advantage to this route is that all genes are cloned, allowing the identification of genes not expressed at the time from which mRNA is isolated. These may include genes which are expressed during stages of the life cycle which are not easy to isolate. After recovery and isolation of the cloned gene that is derived from the procedures discussed above, the cloned DNA sequence is advantageously transferred to a suitable expression vector/host cell system for large scale production of the antigenic protein. The DNA sequence that is to be isolated encodes an antigenic protein that will elicit an immune response when administered to chickens which will protect them from subsequent infections. It is not necessary to isolate a complete coccidial gene encoding such a protein, since those portions of the protein termed antigenic determinants are sufficient for triggering a protective immune response (Lerner, supra). This antigenic determinant should be on the surface of the folded microbially-produced protein to trigger the response (Lerner, supra). In the mRNA route, the sequence may be isolated from the sporo- zoite life stage of the parasite. It has been demonstrated that part of the protective immune response in chickens is directed against the sporozoite. Antigenic proteins isolated from other life stages also may be effective as vaccines. MAbs or polyvalent antibodies which bind to various sporozoite proteins can be used to identify cloned DNA sequences encoding those proteins. Such proteins can be isolated and used to elicit a protective immune response in chickens. Sporozoites can be obtained from oocysts by excystation using the method of Doran and Vetterling, Proc. Helminthol Soc. Wash. 34:59-65 (1967), and purified by the leucopak filter technique of Bontemps and Yvore, Ann. Rech. Vet 5:109-113 (1974). Although the method of Doran and Vetterling has been found suitable for obtaining sporozoites from oocysts, any method is suitable as long as the nucleic acids within the sporozoites remain intact. Also, sporozoite mRNA may be isolated from intact sporulated oocysts, which contain the sporozoites. mRNA Route Isolation of mRNA coding for the antigenic proteins of interest is advantageously accomplished by lysis of intact sporulated oocysts under conditions which minimize nuclease activity. This is accomplished using a modification of the procedure described by Pasternak et al. Molec. Biochem. Parisitol 3:133-142 (1982). Total RNA may be isolated by grinding the oocysts with glass beads in a solution containing guanadine thiocyanate, Sarkosyl, and Tris Buffer pH 8.0. Oocyst proteins are removed by phenol chloroform extraction. The total cellular RNA is separated from DNA by precipitation with lithium chloride. Oligo (dT)-cellulose chromatography then can be used to isolate mRNA from the total RNA population. Synthesis of cDNA may be accomplished using either a kit from Boehringer Mannheim which employs avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase and RNase H or a kit from Pharmacia which employs mouse Moloney Leukemia virus reverse transcriptase and RNase H. The kits are used according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The poly r(A) tail of mRNA permits oligo(dT) (of about 12-18 nucleotides) to be used as a primer for cDNA synthesis or alternatively DNA oligonucleotides of random sequence can be used as a primer for cDNA synthesis. For purposes of amplification and selection, the ds-cDNA prepared as described above is generally inserted into a suitable cloning vector, which is used for transforming appropriate host cells. Suitable cloning vectors include various plasmids and phages, but a bacteriophage lambda is preferred. For a cloning vector to be useful for the expression of foreign proteins which are to be detected with antibodies, it should have several useful properties. Most importantly, it should have a cloning site within a gene which is expressed in the host being used. There should also be a means of controlling expression of the gene. The vector should be able to accept DNA of the size required for synthesis of the desired protein product and replicate normally. It is also useful to have a selectable property which allows identification of vectors carrying inserts. A cloning vector having such properties is the bacteriophage λgtll (ATCC 37194) (Young and Davis. Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 80:1194-1198 (1983)). This vector has a unique EcoRI site near the end of the bacterial gene coding for /3-galactosidase. That site can be used for insertion of foreign DNA to make hybrid proteins made up of /3-galactosidase and the foreign gene product The expression of /3-galactosidase is under control of the lac promoter and can be induced by the addition of isopropyl- -D- thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The λgtll phage contains 43.7 kb of DNA which is considerably smaller than wild type λ. This allows insertion of pieces of DNA up to 8.3 kb in length, before the DNA becomes too large to fit inside the phage head. Because DNA is inserted into the gene for 3-galactosidase, transformants having inserts can easily be distinguished from those which do not by looking for /3-galactosidase activity. An indicator dye, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl- ?-D-galactoside (Xgal), can be incorporated with agar plates. /3-galactosidase cleaves this molecule to give a blue product, thus allowing examination of the cultures for the presence of active 3-galactosidase. Those plaques having inserts are colorless on X-gal plates because the insertion of foreign DNA into the /3-galactosidase gene has eliminated its activity. The ds-cDNA can be conveniently inserted into the phage by addition of linkers containing an EcoRI restriction site and any convenient second restriction enzyme recognition site to the DNA and ligation into the EcoRI-cut λgtll DNA. After ligation of the cDNA into the phage DNA, the DNA is packaged, in vitro, into λ phage heads (Enquist and Sternberg, Methods in Enzvmology 68:281-298 (1979) and those phages are used to infect a suitable λ-sensitive host With the proper choice of host, the phage may be screened as plaques or lysogens (colonies). Aside from the E. coli bacteriophage λgtll system described, many other host vector combinations have been used successfully for the cloning of foreign genes in E. coli (Principles of Gene Manipulation. 2nd Ed., Old and Primrose, Univ. of California Press, 32-35, 46-47 (1981)). The foregoing discussion has focused on cloning procedures in gram negative bacteria, e.g., E. coli. Alternatively, foreign genes may be cloned into plasmid vectors that will transform and replicate in a gram positive bacterium such as Bacillus subtilis (Old and Primrose, supra, pp. 51-53) or in a eukaryotic host cell such as yeast (Old and Primrose, supra. pp. 62-68) filamentous fungi, insect cells (U.S. 4,745,051 and 4,879,236) and mammalian cells. The DNA described herein may be inserted into the above vectors by various techniques including homopolymeric tailing, blunt-end ligation or by use of linker molecules (Old and Primrose, supra, at p. 92). Many immunological methods for screening clone banks for those expressing a desired protein are known and include procedures described by Engvall and Pearlman, Immunochemistry 8:871-874 (1971); Koenen et al. The European Molecular Biology Organization Journal. Vol. 1, No. 4, pp. 509-512 (1982); Broome et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Scl. USA 75:2746-2749 (1978); Villa-Komaroff et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Scl. USA 75:3727-3731 (1978); Anderson et al. Methods in Enzvmologv 68:428-436 (1979); Clarke et al. Methods in Enzvmologv 68:436-442 (1979); Ehrlich et al. Methods in Enzvmologv 68:443-453 (1979); Kemp et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Scl. USA 78:4520-4524 (1981). By the cloning procedures outlined, thousands of recombinant bacteriophage are generated which can be screened for production of coccidial antigens. Screening methods depend upon expression of the coccidial antigenic protein either alone or as a fusion protein with a bacterial gene. In the examples included herein, the coccidial antigens are produced as fusions with E. coli /3-galactosidase. The screening methods, therefore, depend on expression of the fusion product and detection of the product by reaction with antibodies, either monoclonal or polyvalent, directed against that antigen. The recombinant bacteriophages can be used to infect a suitable E. coli host which allows the formation of phage plaques on agar (or agarose) plates. The plaques can be transferred to nitrocellulose membranes while being induced with IPTG. The proper antibodies are then reacted with the filters. After reaction of the primary antibodies with the filters, the positive reactions are detected by reaction with either [ 125 I] Staphylococcus aureus Protein A or a second antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, or vitamin B12. The plaques containing cross-reactive antigens can then be detected by autoradiography, by detection of the conjugated enzyme, or, in the case of Vitamin B12 conjugates, by binding of streptavidin conjugate to one of the reporter enzymes. The phages giving positive signals in the antibody-screening procedure can be shown to contain sequences coding for coccidial proteins by excision of the DNA originally inserted into the phage DNA and examination of the ability of that DNA to hybridize with coccidia mRNA or coccidia genomic DNA. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert is determined using the methods of Sanger et al. Proc. Natl Acad. Scl. USA 74:5463-5467 (1977); or Maxam and Gilbert, Proc. Natl. Acad. Scl. USA 74:560-S64 (1977). Nuclear DNA Route Another method of cloning coccidial antigens begins with isolation of nuclear DNA from oocysts. This DNA is then broken into fragments of a size suitable for insertion into a cloning vector. To obtain such fragments, one can use mechanical shearing methods such as sonication or high-speed stirring in a blender to produce random breaks in the DNA. Intense sonication with ultrasound can reduce the fragment length to about 300 nucleotide pairs. (Old and Primrose, supra, p. 20.) Alternatively, nuclear DNA may be partially digested with DNAsel, which gives random fragments, with restriction endonucleases, which cut at specific sites, or with mung bean nuclease in the presence of foπnamide, which has been shown with some related organisms (McCutchan, T.F., et al Science 225:625-628 (1984)) to produce DNA fragments containing intact genes. These nuclear DNA fragments may be inserted into any of the cloning vectors listed for the cloning of cDNA in the mRNA experimental method. If the nuclear DNA is digested with a restriction endonuclease, it can be inserted conveniently into a cloning vector digested with the same enzyme, provided the vector has only one recognition site for that enzyme. Otherwise, DNA fragments may be inserted into appropriate cloning vectors by homopolymeric tailing or by using linker molecules (Old and Primrose, supra, at p. 92). Advantageously, genomic DNA expression libraries are constructed after digestion on nuclear DNA with any one of a number of restriction enzymes that yield blunt end DNA fragments. The size of the DNA frag¬ ments can be controlled by reducing the time of digestion with the restriction enzyme. Linkers such as an oligonucleotide encoding restriction site for EcoRI and Notl are ligated onto the blunt end DNA fragments and fragments are ligated into the EcoRI site of bacteriophage λgtll. The resulting genomic expression library can be subjected to antibody screening as described for the mRNA route. Plasmid DNA is isolated from transformants found to be "positive" by the above screening methods. The nuclear DNA inserts of these plasmids are then subjected to DNA sequencing. The cloned DNA sequence may be transferred to expression vectors engineered for high- level production of the antigenic protein. The expression vectors are transformed into suitable host cells for production of the antigenic protein. These host cells may include both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. The prokaryotic host cells include E. coli and B. subtilis. The eukaryotic host cells include yeast, insect cells, and mammalian cells. Coccidial antigens advantageously may be produced at high levels in E. coli as a fusion protein comprising the antigen and an amino terminal portion of the viral MS-2 polymerase. This fusion is accomplished by inserting a DNA sequence encoding a coccidial antigen into a plasmid vector, pEX32b, carrying the polymerase gene. In the expression vector used the expression of the fusion antigenic protein is highly regulated by temperature. Host expression vector systems in which expression of foreign proteins is regulatable have the advantage of avoiding possible adverse effects of foreign protein accumulation as high cell densities are reached. Some investigators have proposed that expression of gene fragments such as those encoding antigenic determinants may avoid the deleterious effects that expression of the entire antigenic protein would have on E. coli host cells. (Helfman et al. Proc. Natl Acad. Scl. USA 80:31-35 (1983)). Coccidial antigens also may be produced in high levels as fusions at the carboxy-terminal of E. coli 3-galactosidase. The coccidia antigen gene is transferred to a small plasmid such as pGX3217 which carries the gene for ampicillin resistance and which contains a /3-galactosidase gene with an EcoRI insertion site near the 3' end of the gene. Synthesis of the fused gene products is regulated by the ]ac promoter which is induced by addition of IPTG, the inducer of the lac operon. An effective subunit vaccine against avian coccidiosis may consist of a mixture of antigen proteins derived from several species of Eimeria. Alternatively, production costs may be decreased by producing two or more antigen proteins as one fusion protein thus reducing the required number of fermentations and purifications. Such a fusion protein would contain the amino acid sequence comprising an antigenic epitope of each antigen protein (or repetitions of those sequences) with variable amounts of surrounding nonantigenic sequence. A hybrid gene designed to code for such a protein in E. coli would contain bacterial regulatory sequence (promoter/operator) and the 5' end of an E. coli gene (the ribosome binding site and codons for several amino acids) to ensure efficient translation initiation followed by the coding sequences for the antigenic epitopes all fused in the same reading frame. E. coli cells transformed with the expression vector carrying a cloned coccidial antigen sequence are grown under conditions that promote expression of the antigenic polypeptide. The antigenic protein is then tested for ability to elicit an immune response in chickens that will protect them from subsequent Eimeria infections. The antigen protein may be presented to birds as a live E. coli expressing the protein, as killed E. coli expressing the protein or as purified protein. The antigen may be combined with suitable carriers and adjuvants and administered to birds in their feed or by injection. The cloned antigenic proteins used in vaccines above are tested for their ability to elicit an immune response in chickens that protects the birds from subsequent infection by any of the important species of Eimeria. including E. tenella. E. acervulina. E. brunetti. E. mivati. E. maxima. E. praecox. E. mitis. and E. necatrix. The cloning procedures de- scribed above may be repeated until DNA sequences encoding coccidial antigens that collectively protect chickens against coccidiosis are isolated and used as a vaccine by the methods above. In addition to cloned antigenic proteins which may be useful as vaccines to protect against coccidiosis, another useful alternative which may be derived from cloning antigen genes is the use of small, synthetic peptides in vaccines (see Lerner, supra). After the sequence of antigenic proteins is determined, it is possible to make synthetic peptides based on that sequence. The peptides are conjugated to a carrier protein such as hemocyanin or serum albumin and the conjugate then can be used to immunize against coccidia. It is contemplated that the procedures described may also be used to isolate antigenic proteins from other coccidia species that can be used in vaccines to protect other domestic animals from coccidiosis. The following examples are supplied in order to illustrate, but not necessarily limit, the present invention. Example 1 Identification of an E. maxima cDNA Clone Encoding Antigen mc-4c with Antiserum Raised Against Eimeria maxima Sporozoites In order to identify antigens from Eimeria maxima, expression libraries were prepared in the lambda vector, λgtll, using cDNA prepared from poryA mRNA isolated from E. maxima oocysts. The construction of the libraries is described in Genex Patent Application, PCT/US89/02918 incorporated herein by reference. The cDNA expression library was screened with rat antiserum raised against E. maxima sporozoites. The rat immune serum was prepared using the following protocol. Da **Sporozoite sample is 8.0X10 6 sporozoites/ml The indicated vol is mixed 1:1 with Freund's Complete Adjuvant. The library to be screened was plated on a host that allows lysis and plaque formation. Following induction of the antigens encoded by the phage, the plaques were transfered to nitrocellulose filters. Positive phage were identified after screening with the rat anti-E. maxima sporozoite antiserum. The cDNA inserts from the positive clones were cloned into bacteriophage M13 and subjected to sequence analysis. Ej. maxima antigen mc-4c was identified. Antigen mc-4c is an analog of E. acervυlina antigen ac-6b and E tenella antigen GX3262 (Miller etal. Infect. Immun. 57:2014-2020 (1989); Danforth et al. Poultry Sci. 68:1643-1652 (1989)). Only the carboxy terminal sequence of mc-4c was recovered so a cDNA expression library was screened with an 18 bp oligonucleotide complementary to the 5'- sequence of the original mc-4c clone. A second clone, λmc-36c, was identified that encodes all but the six amino terminal amino acids of the antigen. The sequence of mc-4c and the 21.7 Kd translation product that it encodes are shown in Figures 1 and 2 (Sequence ID Nos.l and 2). Example 2 Identification of an E. maxima cDNA Clone Encoding Antigen mc-5c with Antiserum Raised Against Eimeria maxima Sporozoites As described in Example 1, E. maxima libraries were screened with the rat anti-E. maxima sporozoite immune serum. Phage that produce antigens cross-reactive with the immune serum were identified. The cDNA inserts from the positive phage were cloned into bacteriophage M13 and subjected to sequence analysis. Following sequence analysis, R tenella antigen mc-5c was identified. The carboxyl terminal sequence of antigen mc-5c is encoded by 1611 bp of open reading frame. The sequence and its 59.2 Kd translation product are shown in Figures 3 and 4 (Sequence ID Nos.3 and 4). A partial sequence of antigen mc-5c were expressed in pEX32b. The terminal 227 amino acids encoded by an EcoRI fragment extending from the internal restriction site starting at base 928 to beyond the site of translation termination (Figure 3) were inserted into pEX32b and expressed. Antigen mc-5c is encoded in expression vector pGX5376. Example 3 Identification of an E. maxima cDNA Clone Encoding Antigen mc-30c with Antiserum Raised Against Eimeria maxima Sporozoites As described in Example 1, E. maxima libraries were screened with the rat anti-E. maxima sporozoite immune serum. Phage that produce antigens cross-reactive with the immune serum were identified. The cDNA inserts from the positive phage were cloned into bacteriophage M13 and subjected to sequence analysis. Following sequence analysis, E. tenella antigen mc-30c was identified. Antigen mc-30c had 510 bp of open reading frame fused in frame with the /3-galactosidase gene of λgtll. Within the open reading frame are two methionine codons (double underlined) followed by 321 bp of open reading frame ending with a termination codon (Figure 5, Sequence ID No.5). Preceding the putative methionine initiation codons are two TATA boxes which are underlined. Thus it is possible that the insert contains a complete gene encoding an Eimeria antigen consisting of 109 amino acids with a molecular weight of 12.2 Kd. The amino acid sequence of the mc-30c antigen encoded by the entire open reading frame of mc- 30c is shown in Figure 6 (Sequence ID No.6) with the methionines at the putative initiation site underlined. Antigen mc-30c was expressed in E. coli after insertion into the plasmid expression vector pEX-32b. Antigen mc-30c is encoded in expression vector pGX5370 and is expressed as a fusion protein with 11 Kd of the MS-2 polymerase under control of the P L promoter. The host strain pop2136 contains a temperature sensitive repressor of P L and expression of the fusion protein is fully induced at 42°C. Example 4 Identification of an E. maxima cDNA Clone Encoding Antigen mc-35c with Antiserum Raised Against Eimeria maxima Sporozoites As described in Example 1, E. maxima libraries were screened with the rat anti-E. maxima sporozoite immune serum. Phage that produce antigens cross-reactive with the immune serum were identified. The cDNA inserts from the positive phage were cloned into bacteriophage M13 and subjected to sequence analysis. Following sequence analysis, E. tenella antigen mc-35c was identified. Antigen mc-35c is encoded by 1461 bp of open reading frame fused in-frame with the /3-galactosidase sequence. The 5'-sequence consists of a 24 bp sequence encoding eight amino acids which is repeated with complete fidelity a total of 24 times. This repeat is linked through a single glutamic acid residue to a second, different 24 bp sequence which is repeated 16 times. The repeats are followed by 501 bp of open reading frame followed by a termination codon. The nucleotide sequence of mc- 35c is shown in Figure 7 (Sequence ID No.7) and the amino acid sequence of mc-35c is shown in Figure 8 (Sequence ID No.8) with the first of each of the eight amino acid repeats underlined and the connecting glutamic acid residue double underlined. Antigen mc-35c was expressed in E. coli after insertion into the plasmid expression vector pEX-32b. Antigen mc-35c is encoded in expression vector pGX5367 and is expressed as a fusion protein with 11 Kd of the MS-2 polymerase under control of the P L promoter. The host strain pop2136 contains a temperature sensitive repressor of P L and expression of the fusion protein is fully induced at 42°C. Example 5 Identification of an E. tenella Genomic DNA Clone Encoding Antigen tg-3e with Immune Bile Recovered from Chickens Infected with Eimeria tenella In order to identify antigens of E. tenella that elicite a mucosal immune response during parasitic infection of chickens, E. tenella cDNA and genomic expression libraries in lambda phage were screened with chicken immune bile. Immune bile was recovered from chickens infected with E. tenella oocysts seven days after the onset of infection. Before being used to screen the libraries, the immune bile was incubated with R coli proteins to inactivate antibodies cross-reactive with E. coli proteins. After incubation of the filters used to lift the lambda plaques from the growth plates with the immune bile, the filters were developed with goat anti-chicken IgA antibodies. The positive plaques were visualized with donkey anti-goat antibodies conjugated with alkaline phosphatase. Phage that produce antigens cross-reactive with the immune bile were identified. The DNA inserts from the positive phage were cloned into bacteriophage M13 and subjected to sequence analysis. Screening of an E. tenella genomic expression library identified antigen tg-3e which consists of 366 bp of open reading frame encoding 122 amino acids. The sequence of tg-3e and the 12.7 Kd translation product that it encodes are shown in Figures 9 and 10 (Sequence ID Nos. 9 and 10). Antigen tg-3e was expressed in E. coli after insertion into the plasmid expression vector pEX-32b. Antigen tg-3e is encoded in expression vector pGX5390 and is expressed as a fusion protein with 11 Kd of the MS-2 polymerase under control of the P L promoter. The host strain pop2136 contains a temperature sensitive repressor of P L and expression of the fusion protein is fully induced at 42°C. Example 6 Identification of an E. tenella cDNA Clone Encoding Antigen tc-lle with Immune Bile Recovered from Chickens Infected with Eimeria tenella As described in Example 5, E. tenella cDNA libraries were screened with the chicken anti-E. tenella immune bile. Phage that produce antigens cross-reactive with the immune bile were identified. The cDNA inserts from the positive phage were cloned into bacteriophage M13 and subjected to sequence analysis. Following sequence analysis R tenella antigen tc-lle was identified. Antigen tc-lle consists of a 417 bp open reading frame encoding 139 amino acids. The sequence of tc-lle and the 13.9 Kd translation product that it encodes are shown in Figures 11 and 12 (Sequence ID Nos. 11 and 12). Antigen tc-lle was expressed in E. coli after insertion into the plasmid expression vector pEX-32b. Antigen tc-lle is encoded in expression vector pGX5394 and is expressed as a fusion protein with 11 Kd of the MS-2 polymerase under control of the P L promoter. The host strain pop2136 contains a temperature sensitive repressor of P L and expression of the fusion protein is fully induced at 42°C. Example 7 Identification of an E. tenella cDNA Clone Encoding Antigen tc-23g with Antiserum Raised Against Eimeria tenella Sporozoites In order to identify antigens from Eimeria tenella. expression libraries were prepared in the lambda vector, λgtll, using cDNA prepared from polyA mRNA isolated from E. tenella oocysts. The construction of the libraries has been described previously (U.S. Ser. No. 07 215,162; Berger et al. Methods in Enzvmology. Vol. 152, Academic Press, New York, NY (1987)). The cDNA expression library was screened with chicken antiserum raised against E. tenella sporozoites. The chicken immune serum was prepared using the following protocol. The library to be screened was plated on a host that allows lysis and plaque formation. Following induction of the antigens encoded by the phage, the plaques were transferred to nitrocellulose filters using standard protocols (Berger et al. Methods in Enzvmologv, Vol 152, Academic Press, New York, NY (1987)). The filters were screened with the chicken anti-E. tenella sporozoite antiserum. Plaques recognized by chicken serum IgA antibodies were identified with goat anti-chicken IgA antibody followed by biotinylated donkey anti-goat IgG antibody. The positive plaques were visualized with an alkaline phosphatase-streptavidin conjugate using standard protocols (Berger et al. Methods in Enzvmologv. Vol 152, Academic Press, New York, NY (1987)). The cDNA insert from the positive clone was cloned into bacteriophage M-13 and subjected to sequence analysis using the method of Sanger et al. fProc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74:5463-5467 (1977)). The carboxy terminal sequence of E. tenella antigen tc-23g was identified. The nucleotide se- quence of tc-23g and the 20 Kd translation product that it encodes are shown in Figures 13 and 14 (Sequence ID Nos.13 and 14). Antigens tc-23g was expressed in E. coli after insertion into the plasmid expression vector pEX-32b using standard protocols (Berger et al. Methods in Enzymology. Vol. 152, Academic Press, New York, NY (1987)). The antigen is encoded in expression vector pGX5398 and is expressed as a fusion protein with 11 Kd of the MS-2 polymerase under control of the P L promoter. The host strain pop2136 contains a tempera¬ ture sensitive repressor of P L and expression of the fusion protein is fully induced at 42°C.

The cDNA insert from the positive phage was cloned into bacteriophage M-13 and subjected to sequence analysis using the method of Sanger et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74-5463-5467 (1977)). Following sequence analysis, E. tenella antigen tc-26h was identified. The antigen consists of a peptide fragment which is composed of long strings of alanines and serines. The nucleotide sequence of tc-26h and the 10 Kd translation product that it encodes are shown in Figures 15 and 16 (Sequence ID Nos.15 and 16).
