DNA encoding an antigenic protein derived from Eimeria tenella and vaccines for prevention of coccidiosis caused by Eimeria tenella

摘要

Nucleic acid molecules are provided which encode antigenic proteins capable of inducing in a chicken an immune response conferring protection against Eimeria tenella. Expression vectors containing the nucleic acid molecules are also provided. Methods for producing the proteins or antigenic polypeptides having amino acid sequences included within these proteins are also provided.
