Hemelipoglycoprotein from the ornate sheep tick, Dermacentor marginatus: structural and functional characterization

Abstract

The main aim of this study is the biochemical characterization of a carrier protein from the ornate sheep tick Dermacentor marginatus, hemelipoglycoprotein, with emphasis on its size in native conditions, its glycosylation and identification of its modifying glycans, and examining its carbohydrate-binding specificity.
