Abstract
The present invention includes a method to detect infection in a host animal using a Di33 protein to detect anti- Di33 antibodies in a bodily fluid of the animal. Also included is a method to detect infection in a host animal using a anti-Di33 protein to detect Di33 proteins in a bodily fluid of the animal. The present invention also relates to detection kits that include either a Di33 protein or an anti-Di33 antibody; such kits also include a composition to detect an immunocomplex between the anti-Di33 antibody and Di33 protein. The present invention also includes Di33 proteins, nucleic acid molecules encoding such proteins, as well as recombinant molecules and recombinant cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules, and anti-Di33 antibodies. Also included are methods to produce such proteins, nucleic acid molecules and antibodies.
