Abstract:Background: Rhomboid-like proteases (ROMs) are considered as a new candidate antigen for developing new-generation vaccine due to their important role involved in the invasion of apicomplexan protozoa. In prior works, we obtained a ROM2 sequence of Eimeria maxima (EmROM2) which is the homologous gene with ROM2 of Toxoplasma gondii. This study was conducted to evaluate the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of EmROM2 recombinant protein (rEmROM2) and EmROM2 DNA (pVAX1-EmROM2) against infection by Eimeria ma… Show more
