Identification of immunogenic proteins from ovarian tissue and recognized in larval extracts of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, through an immunoproteomic approach
A classical approach immunizing cattle with total ovarian proteins was followed.
•
The detection of ovarian proteins was achieved by ELISA plates coated with proteins from larval homogenates.
•
Several immunogenic proteins such as Vitellogenins and yolk Cathepsin were identified.
•
Vitellogenin-1 and Vitellogenin-2 transcripts are synthesized in the ovaries of R. microplus.
•
Vitellogenins represent attractive candidates for development of anti-tick vaccines.
