The cDNA encoding an excretory–secretory antigen from the second stage larvae of Toxocara canis has been characterized. Sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame encoding a protein of 226 amino acid residues (Mr=24 398). Sequence database searches showed similarities to regions corresponding...
