is the causative agent of babesiosis in the western United States. The indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) assay is the diagnostic test of choice for detection of -specific antibodies. However, this test requires parasitized red blood cells harvested from infected hamsters, and test results are often difficult to interpret. To simplify serological testing for , a proteomics approach was employed to identify candidate immunodiagnostic antigens. Several proteins were identified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometric analysis, and four recombinant protein constructs were expressed and used in a multiplex bead assay (MBA) to detect -specific antibodies. Two antigens, AAY83295.1 and AAY83296.1, performed well... More
