Cloning and Characterization of the Gene Encoding the Glutamate Dehydrogenase of Streptococcus suis Serotype 2

Abstract excerpt

Given the lack of effective vaccines to control Streptococcus suis infection and the lack of a rapid and reliable molecular diagnostic assay to detect its infection, a polyclonal antibody was raised against the whole-cell protein of S. suis type 2 and used to screen an S. suis gene library in an effort to identify protective antigen(s) and antigens of diagnostic importance. A clone that produced a 45-kDa S....
