Abstract

The invention relates to a new polynucleotide which encodes a polypeptide expressed in the salivary glands of ticks, more particularly the Ixodes ricinus arthropod tick, during the slow-feeding phase of the blood meal have. The polynucleotide and related polypeptide may be used in different constructions and for different applications which are also included in the present invention.
