ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an isolated protein comprising a filariid p22U protein. In a preferred embodiment, the filariid p22U protein selectively binds to immune serum which is derived from an animal that is immune to infection by Dirofilaria immitis. Such an animal can be immunized with a composition comprising third and/or fourth stage Dirofilaria immitis larvae. In a preferred embodiment, the filariid p22U protein is a Dirofilaria protein.
