Molecule Role	Protective antigen
Molecule Role Annotation	Separate groups of gerbils were immunized with purified recombinant proteins singly or in combinations and animals were then challenged with N. caninum. The protective efficacy of each vaccination was determined by assessing animal survival rate. All experimental groups showed protective effects. Vaccination with NcDG2 alone elicited 50% survival rate compared to a control survival rate of 17.4% (Cho et al., 2005).
