Transcriptional Analysis ofp30Major Outer Membrane Multigene Family ofEhrlichiacanisin Dogs, Ticks, and Cell Culture at Different Temperatures
1 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
Ehrlichia canis, an obligatory intracellular bacterium of monocytes and macrophages, causes canine monocytic ehrlichiosis. E. canis immunodominant 30-kDa major outer membrane proteins are encoded by a polymorphic multigene family consisting of more than 20 paralogs. In the present study, we analyzed the mRNA expression of 14 paralogs in experimentally infected dogs and Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks by reverse...
