Genetic variability and stability of Anaplasma phagocytophila msp2 (p44).

Infection and immunity - 1 Mar 2002

Caspersen Karen, Park Jin-Ho, Patil Surekha, Dumler J Stephen

Abstract excerpt

Anaplasma (Ehrlichia) phagocytophila's major immunodominant surface protein antigen, Msp2 (P44, 44-kDa antigen), is encoded by a family of paralogous genes characterized by conserved sequences flanking a hypervariable region. The antigenic profiles of most strains of A. phagocytophila are different, and the differences are principally related to Msp2 expression. To date, multiple unique msp2 gene paralogs have...
