Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 57 words
An antigenic, immunogenic, proteinaceous vaccine for combatting Eimeria spp. infection in avians which comprises: an effective amount of Eimeria tenella merozoite antigen of 250-350 kd molecular weight which is reactive with anti-merozoite monoclonal antibodies secreted by hybridoma clone 1.90 (ATCC No. HB8336); and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier therefore; wherein said antigen is soluble in a detergent containing buffer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 57 words
An antigenic, immunogenic, proteinaceous vaccine for combatting Eimeria spp. infection in avians which comprises: an effective amount of Eimeria tenella merozoite antigen of 250-350 kd molecular weight which is reactive with anti-merozoite monoclonal antibodies secreted by hybridoma clone 1.90 (ATCC No. HB8336); and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier therefore; wherein said antigen is soluble in a detergent containing buffer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
A vaccine according to claim 1 additionally containing a stabilizer or pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant therefore.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 62 words
An antigenic, immunogenic, proteinaceous vaccine for combatting Eimeria spp. infection in avians which comprises: an effective amount of Eimeria tenella merozoite antigen of 110-150 kd molecular weight which is reactive with anti-merozoite monoclonal antibodies secreted by hybridoma clone 10.84 (ATCC No. HB8387) and 15.84 (ATCC No. HB8335), and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier therefore; wherein said antigen is soluble in a detergent containing buffer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 62 words
An antigenic, immunogenic, proteinaceous vaccine for combatting Eimeria spp. infection in avians which comprises: an effective amount of Eimeria tenella merozoite antigen of 110-150 kd molecular weight which is reactive with anti-merozoite monoclonal antibodies secreted by hybridoma clone 10.84 (ATCC No. HB8387) and 15.84 (ATCC No. HB8335), and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier therefore; wherein said antigen is soluble in a detergent containing buffer.
