ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to antigens derived from ticks and to their purification. It also relates to genes encoding such antigens and to their cloning and expression from recombinant DNA molecules. Further, the invention describes the use of purified antigens and recombinant expression products having similar biological activity to those purified antigens to provide vaccines to protect cattle against tick infestation.
