abstract = {Major Sperm Protein (MSP) is one of the important components
of nematode sperms and the characters of this protein were widely studied in
Caenorhabdit elegans and Ascaris suum. However, no knowledge of
homology proteins in Haemonchus contortus was reported. In the present
research, the MSP gene of this parasite (HcMSP) was first cloned and
characterized. A pair of primer targeted the conserved sequence of nematode
MSPs was designed and a partial of HcMSP gene was obtained by reverse
transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Then, the 5' and 3' ends of HcMSP gene were
cloned by 5' Rapid Amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and 3' RACE. The full length
of cDNA was obtained by overlapping the sequences of 3' and 5' extremities.
The Open Reading Frame (ORF) was amplified by RT-PCR and expressed in prokaryotic
cell.}
