Identification and molecular characterization of proteins, expressed in the Ixodes ricinus salivary glands

摘要

The invention relates to new polynucleotides which encode polypeptides expressed in the salivary glands of ticks, more particularly the Ixodes ricinus arthropod tick, during the slow-feeding phase of the blood meal have. Said polynucleotides and related polynucleotides may be used in different constructions and for different applications which are also included in said invention.
