using msa-2b as a molecular marker for genotyping mexican isolates of babesia bovis. | variable merozoite surface antigens of babesia bovis are exposed glycoproteins having a role in erythrocyte invasion. members of this gene family include msa-1 and msa-2 (msa-2c, msa-2a(1), msa-2a(2) and msa-2b). to determine the sequence variation among b. bovis mexican isolates using msa-2b as a genetic marker, pcr amplicons corresponding to msa-2b were cloned and plasmids carrying the corresponding inserts were purified and sequenced. comparative analysis of nucleotide and deduced amino acid ... | 2009 | 19931189 |
