  • Title: Hereford cattle immunized and protected against Boophilus microplus with soluble and membrane-associated antigens from the midgut of ticks.
    Author: Opdebeeck JP, Wong JY, Jackson LA, Dobson C.
    Journal: Parasite Immunol; 1988 Jul; 10(4):405-10. PubMed ID: 3174172.
    Abstract:
    Hereford cattle were immunized with membranes and soluble components extracted from the midgut of Boophilus microplus. Membrane vaccines protected cattle (91%) against challenge with 3 x 20,000 larval ticks administered at intervals of 7 days. Vaccines made from soluble antigens did not protect cattle. Antibody levels measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) related to the levels of protection induced by vaccination.
