POLYPEPTIDES USEFUL IN DIAGNOSIS OF COCCIDIA INFECTION AND RECOMBINANT-DNA METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

A class of polypeptides useful in an in vitro diagnosis of coccidiosis infection in chickens is disclosed. These polypeptides are also capable of inducing an immune response in chickens which were previously not exposed to Eimeria. Recombinant DNA methods for the production of these polypeptides and phage vectors useful in these methods are also disclosed.
