ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to flea serine protease proteins, aminopeptidase proteins and flea cysteine protease proteins; to flea serine protease, aminopeptidase and cysteine protease nucleic acid molecules, including those that encode such proteins; to antibodies raised against such proteins; and to compounds that inhibit flea serine protease, aminopeptidase and/or cysteine protease activities. The present invention also includes methods to obtain such proteins, nucleic acid molecules, antibodies, and inhibitors. Also included in the present invention are therapeutic compositions comprising such proteins, nucleic acid molecules, antibodies, and/or inhibitors as well as the use of such therapeutic compositions to protect a host animal from flea infestation.
