Abstract excerpt
A previously unknown protein, designated SvpA (surface virulence-associated protein) and implicated in the virulence of the intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, was identified. This 64 kDa protein, encoded by svpA, is both secreted in culture supernatants and surface-exposed, as shown by immunogold labelling of whole bacteria with an anti-SvpA antibody. Analysis of the peptide sequence revealed that...
