Fig. 5From: In silico selection of functionally important proteins from the mialome of Ornithodoros erraticus ticks and assessment of their protective efficacy as vaccine targetsELISA. IgG antibody response in rabbits vaccinated with recombinant antigens SjGST (control), OeCHI, OePK4, OeRPP0 and OeTSP1 + OeTSP2 (TSPs). a Reactivity of rabbit sera to the homologous recombinant antigen. b Reactivity of rabbit sera to the saliva of Ornithodoros erraticus and Ornithodoros moubata. Values are the average OD ± SD at 492 nm from each rabbit group. Sera were taken before immunisation (preimmune), 14 days post-immunisation, immediately before the infestation with ticks (14 dpi) and 14 days post-infestation (28 dpi), and were used at 1/300 dilutionBack to article page
