Conservation of the 17-Kilodalton Antigen Gene within the Genus Bartonella
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
The 17-kDa antigen of Bartonella henselae has previously been shown to elicit a strong humoral immune response in patients with cat scratch disease (CSD) and to be useful in screening human serum samples for CSD. In this study, PCR amplification of genes homologous to the 17-kDa antigen gene of B. henselae was performed using genomic DNAs from several species of Bartonella, including the currently recognized...
