摘要

Bovine Babesiosis (BB) is a tick-borne blood protozoan disease caused by Babesia, worldwide. The disease in tropical and subtropical regions is caused by B. bovis and B. bigemina. The main aim of this study was to develop the rec-gp45 of B. bigemina and to do experiments for the conduction of promising immunogenic trials on calves. Initially, microscopy was performed to identify B. bigemina through a thin blood smear, and DNA extraction was done. Subsequently, PCR was performed to amplify the gp45 sequence. Transformation of pET28α-gp45 into BL-21 was done by heat shock method. The rec-gp45 was identified at 39 kDa through SDS-PAGE and Western blot analyses. Indirect ELISA was performed to check specificity and sensitivity. Flow cytometry was also performed to assess the cellular responses following inoculation of rec-gp45 in calves. Indirect ELISA showed the specificity and sensitivity 100%, respectively. The immunogenic responses against BB in calves were checked through flow cytometry and we found 29.96% of CD8 + and 1.390% of CD4 + T cells, whereas cellular and humoral responses were shown against BB and it showed specific IgG response with OD value 2.460 ± 0.3151. The recombinant protein gp45 can be a promising immunogenic candidate against B. bigemina.
