Antigen-specific antibody recognition for denatured Rm39, Rm180, Rm239 and Rm76 antigens. Western blot analysis of the recombinant salivary proteins Rm39, Rm180, Rm239 (a) and Rm76 (b) using pooled sera (1:100) from vaccinated calves for the evaluation of antibody responses to linear epitopes. Abbreviations: Bv, before vaccination; 1wpv, 1 week post-third shot of vaccination; 2wpv, 2 weeks post-third shot of vaccination; cainf, challenge infestation (bovines infested with ticks in adult stage); clinf, challenge infestation (bovines infested with ticks in larvae stage); einf, end of infestation
