Abstract
The invention provides methods, kits, compositions, and devices useful for detection of antibodies that bind to Ehrlichia antigens and/or for differentiation of certain Ehrlichia species from others. In particular, the invention provides methods and kits useful for identifying species of Ehrlichia using populations of isolated peptides.
Claims8
A kit comprising:
- a first population of isolated peptides comprising at least three different peptides, each comprising a sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- a second population of isolated peptides comprising at least three different peptides, each comprising a sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- a third population of isolated peptides comprising at least three different peptides, each comprising a sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 3;
- and
- an instruction for using the first, second, and third populations of peptides to identify the species of Ehrlichia in a biological sample, if present.
