ABSTRACT:
A cDNA clone (.lambda.RAL-1) that encodes a protein with an apparent molecular weight of 42,000 in vivo and which clone binds with O. volvulus antisera.
A recombinant antigen produced by the aforementioned clone, which antigen stimulates T cells from infected individuals to proliferate.
A DNA which codes for an O. volvulus peptide sequence, the sequence containing three repeats of the polypeptide sequence KKPEDWD.
