Mining the secreted and membrane transcriptome of Hyalomma dromedarii ticks for identification of potential protective antigens
Our immuno-informatics analysis identified 60 sequences common among hard tick species and encoded by H. dromedarii salivary glands. These annotated SMaT sequences of H. dromedarii will pave the way for the identification and discovery of novel potential protective antigens that are either secreted, membrane-associated or transmembrane.
