Haemagglutinins of pathogenic avian mycoplasmas
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
The pathogenic avian mycoplasmas, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, Mycoplasma synoviae, Mycoplasma meleagridis, Mycoplasma iowae and Mycoplasma imitans, synthesize haemagglutinins that are immunogenic, variably expressed, surface proteins. The haemagglutinins of M. gallisepticum (pMGA), M. synoviae (VlhA) and M. imitans are lipoproteins, encoded by related multigene families that appear to have arisen by horizontal gene...
