Opsonic Potential, Protective Capacity, and Sequence Conservation of theTreponema pallidumsubspeciespallidumTp92
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
By means of a differential screening technique, a 92-kDa antigen, designated Tp92, was identified from Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. This protein is similar in sequence to the protective surface antigens D15 from Haemophilus influenzae and Oma87 from Pasteurella multocida. Amino acid sequence analyses revealed a cleavable N-terminal signal sequence and predicted the outer membrane location for Tp92. In...
