Abstract
High titered antibody from rabbits immunized with
Anaplasma centrale or from cattle recovered from
A. centrale infection bound predominantly to several 33–36 kDa polypeptides present in both
A. centrale and the israel-NT isolate of
Anaplasma marginale. High titered bovine antibody against the Israel-NT isolate of
A. marginale also reacted predominantly with
A. centrale polypeptides in this size range. The immunodominance of the 33–36 kDa polypeptides and their cross-reactivity indicate that these shared epitopes may be primarily responsible for the cross-prototective immunity between
A. centrale and
A. marginale.
