Isolation and immunological characterization of rhoptries from Neospora caninum

Neospora caninum is a parasite that causes considerable loss in cattle production. Understanding its infection mechanisms is essential to comprehend its impact on herds. Cell fractionation and characterization of the fractions could contribute to the selection of proteins and organelles with immunogenic characteristics. Thus, the present study aimed to isolate rhoptry and subcellular fractions of […]
