A cement protein of the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, located in the secretory e cell granules of the type III salivary gland acini, induces strong antibody responses in cattle

Protein components of the cement cone of ixodid ticks are candidates for inclusion in vaccines against tick infestation, since they are essential for tick attachment and feeding. We describe here the cloning of a cDNA encoding a 36 kDa protein, designated Rhipicephalus Immuno-dominant Molecule 36 (R...
