T. annulata-infected cells present infection-associated peptides. These peptides represent target molecules of the cytotoxic acting cells. Their preparation and characterization may help to develop a sub-unit vaccine. Our studies show that macroschizont-infected bovine cells can be used as parasite antigen in serology for the detection of parasite-specific antibodies in serum of infected animals. Primers derived from the macroschizont of T. annulata can be used as molecular tools for the detection of parasite DNA in blood samples of carrier cattle.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016052 Protozoan Vaccines Suspensions of attenuated or killed protozoa administered for the prevention or treatment of infectious protozoan disease. Vaccines, Protozoan
D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
