The invention relates to the molecular characterisation of DNA sequences which encode proteins expressed in the salivary glands of ticks, more particularly the Ixodes ricinus arthropod tick. Genes which are induced in the salivary glands of Ixodes ricinus during the slow-feeding phase of the blood meal were characterized. The cloning of these genes was carried out by setting up a substractive cDNA library by subtracting uninduced cDNAs (synthesised from mRNAs expressed in the salivary glands of unfed ticks) from induced cDNAs (synthesised from mRNAs expressed in the salivary glands at the end of the slow-feeding phase). A full-length cDNA library was set up starting from incomplete sequences deemed of interest and identified in the subtractive cDNA library. Also included in the invention are the various uses of the newly identified polynucleotides and derived polypeptides.

L'invention concerne la caractérisation moléculaire de séquences d'ADN qui codent des protéines exprimées dans les glandes salivaires de la tique, notamment de la tique arthropode Ixodes ricinus. On a caractérisé les gènes induits dans les glandes salivaires de Ixodes ricinus pendant l'ingestion lente d'un aliment à base de sang. On a effectué le clonage de ces gènes en mettant en place une bibliothèque soustractive d'ADNc en soustrayant les ADNc non induits (synthétisés à partir des ARNm exprimés dans les glandes salivaires des tiques non nourries) des ADNc induits (synthétisés à partir des ARNm exprimés dans les glandes salivaires des tiques à la fin du stade d'ingestion lente). On a établi une bibliothèque d'ADNc pleine longueur à partir des séquences incomplètes considérées comme dignes d'intérêt et identifiées dans la bibliothèque d'ADNc soustractive. L'invention concerne aussi divers procédés d'utilisation des polynucléotides nouvellement identifiés et des polypeptides dérivés.
