Using the monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against G. lamblia, I identified antigenic proteins of this protozoan. Through immunoscreening of G. lamblia expression library with mAbs, the immunoreactive clones were found to contain genes for a group of proteins belonging to GASP (Giardia axoneme-associated protein), GASP115, GASP138, and GASP180. In order to map the epitope region of GASP115, the corresponding open reading frame of 3,120 bps was dissected into three parts and expressed as recombinant proteins with histidine tags. Western blot analysis of these recombinant proteins with mAbs reacting with GASP115 indicated that 1,020 bps of the C-terminus of GASP115 showed immunoreactivity with the mAb. Intracellular location of GASP115 was examined both in trophozoites and encysting cells of G. lamblia by an immunofluorescence assay, indicating that location of GASP115 may vary during encystation. In this study demonstrates that GASP115 is an abundant and antigenic protein, and may contribute in understanding the cytoskeleton in G. lamblia.ope
