Abstract
The present invention relates to parasitic hemline DiAg2 proteins; to parasitic helminth DiAg2 nucleic acid molecules, including those that encode such DiAg2 proteins; to antibodies raised against such DiAg2 proteins; and to compounds that inhibit parasitic helminth DiAg2 activity. The present invention also includes methods to obtain such proteins, nucleic acid molecules, antibodies, and inhibitory compounds. Also included in the present invention are therapeutic compositions comprising such proteins, nucleic acid molecules, antibodies and/or inhibitory compounds as well as the use of such therapeutic compositions to protect animals from diseases caused by parasitic helminths.
