Babesia bovis Merozoite Surface Antigen 2 Proteins Are Expressed on the Merozoite and Sporozoite Surface, and Specific Antibodies Inhibit Attachment and Invasion of Erythrocytes

The Babesia bovis merozoite surface antigen 2 (MSA-2) locus encodes four proteins, MSA-2a(1), -2a(2), -2b, and -2c. With the use of specific antibodies, each MSA-2 protein was shown to be expressed on the surface of live extracellular merozoites and coexpression on single merozoites was confirmed. I...
