The proteins included Cb15 and Cb42 expressed in Escherichia coli and Cb48 expressed in both Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris. In all cases, the in vitro assays of larval growth on serum from vaccinated sheep failed to show inhibition of larval weight gain or any detrimental effect on larval survival relative to controls. Chrysomya bezziana Cb48 has a significant degree of sequence identity with the antigen PM48 from Lucilia cuprina. Feeding Lucilia cuprina larvae on antisera to Cb48 induced a small but statistically significant reduction in weight gain, as does feeding on antisera to PM48. In vivo, larvae feeding on sheep vaccinated with Escherichia coli-expressed Cbl 5 and Cb42 and Pichia pastoris-expressed Cb48 showed marginally greater weight gain and survival which was equal to or greater than that on non-vaccinated sheep. The significance of these observations is discussed. 4aChrysomya bezziana, recombinant antigen, peritrophin, vaccination aPartoutomo, Sutijono[Research Institute for Veterinary Science]Wijffels, Gene aVuocolo, Tony aWilladse, Peter. aARTVET2046
