Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for selecting tick antigens, comprising the following steps: producing a tick transcriptome; synthetising the proteins; selecting the antigenic proteins; assessing the biological importance of the selected proteins; cloning and subcloning the DNA sequences relating to the selected proteins; synthetising antigens against ticks; and also, to antigenic compositions against ticks useful for mammals.
