  • Title: Shedding of the immunodominant P20 surface antigen of Eimeria bovis sporozoites.
    Author: Speer CA, Whitmire WM.
    Journal: Infect Immun; 1989 Mar; 57(3):999-1001. PubMed ID: 2645217.
    Abstract:
    P20 is an immunodominant surface antigen of Eimeria bovis sporozoites. As parasites underwent merogony within cultured bovine monocytes and Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells, P20 appeared to be shed gradually by meronts and was absent in type 1 and 2 first-generation merozoites. Meronts of E. bovis appeared to shed P20 into the parasitophorous vacuole of bovine monocytes, whereas MDBK cells evidently released P20 into the culture medium or destroyed its antigenic determinant.
