Abstract | ||||
Sodium dodcyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used for fractionation of the whole cellular antigens of C.chauvoei. The obtained results revealed the presence of 8 polypeptide bands which ranged from 205 to 18.5 KDa. A major protein band with a molecular weight of 49.5 KDa was identified. Application of the immunoblotting technique with the specific hyperimmune serum prepared against C.chauvoei whole cellular formalinized antigen in rabbits, showed the presence of some major antigenic epitopes which reacted strongly with the specific hyperimmune serum, mainly at 29.5 and 205 KDa. | ||||
