Expression of Recombinant Antigens in Escherichia coli: Application on Immunochemical Studies of Schistosoma mansoni Tegumental Antigens

Sm15 and Sm13 are recognized by antibodies from mice protectively vaccinated with tegumental membranes, suggesting a potential role in protective immunity. In order to raise antibodies for immunochemical investigations, the genes for these antigens were expressed in pGEX and pMal vectors so that com...
