Antigens were extracted from the surface of Eimeria tenella sporozoites with a solution containing Triton X 100 (1%), sodium dodecyl sulphate (0.5%) Na deoxycholate (1%) and EDTA (1 mM). After removal of the detergents, these surface antigen preparations conferred an immunity that protected chickens against a subsequent infection (10(4) sporulated oocysts). The best results were obtained after two 250 micrograms injections of Al(OH)3 adsorbed antigens (oocyst output per g caecal material on Day 7 post infection: 2.39 x 10(7) +/- 0.32 x 10(7) oocysts for controls and 7.37 +/- 10(6) +/- 3.19 x 10(6) oocysts for vaccinated birds) and after four gastric intubations of liposome entrapped antigens (oocysts output on Day 7 postinfection: 2.75 x 10(6) +/- 2.02 x 10(6) g-1 caecal material). These results represented respectively 70 and 88% protection indexes. Studies on the systemic and local antibody response after one or several infections of chickens with the parasite indicated at least 20 different molecules in the detergent antigens which are classified after immunoblotting according to their properties.
