Recombinant antigens for the detection of <i>Coxiella burnetii</i>
NMRC
The invention relates to a method for the detection of prior exposure to Coxiella burnetii infection by antibody-based assays using recombinant, immunodominant C. burnetii polypeptides. The invention also relates to the design of biotin or His-tagged C. burnetii proteins useful in the antibody-based assays as standardized antigen reagents.
