Application

Application Comment Organism
agriculture screening of cathepsin L1/cathepsin L2 mimotopes and use of an M13 phage random 12-mers peptide library to evaluate their immunogenicity in sheep. Immunization of sheep with clones showing positive reactivity to rabbit cathepsin L1/L2 antiserum results in decrease in worm burdens after challenge. A significant reduction in worm size and burden is observed for those sheep immunized with clone 1. Animals receiving clone 20, show a significant reduction in egg output. Immunization induces a reduction of egg viability ranging from 58% to 82%. Vaccinated animals produce clone-specific antibodies which are boosted after challenge with metacercariae of Fasciola hepatica Fasciola hepatica
