Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention provides an isolated and purified heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. The instant invention is also directed to a vaccine against Ehrlichia comprising a peptide homologous to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. The instant invention is also directed to an antibody directed against a peptide homologous to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2. The instant invention is also directed to a method of determining whether a subject is infected with Ehrlichia , comprising the steps of: contacting a sample from a subject with the antibody described herein; and detecting a resulting antibody reaction, wherein a positive reaction indicates the subject is infected with Ehrlichia.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for detecting Ehrlichia in a sample comprising the steps of: ( a ) contacting the sample with an antibody that binds a 21 amino acid peptide having the sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 to form an antibody/peptide complex; and ( b ) detecting the complex. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sample is from a dog. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sample is serum. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said Ehrlichia is Ehrlichia chaffeensis, Ehrlichia muris, Ehrlichia ewingii, Ehrlichia ruminantium or Ehrlichia canis.
