Molecule Role	Protective antigen
Molecule Role Annotation	The microtubule-associate protein (MAP p15) was tested as a vaccine in mice, and tests showed that p15 (native or recombinant) generated up to 100% protection from an otherwise lethal challenge of a heterologous strain of Trypanosoma brucei (Rasooly and Balaban, 2004).
