Abstract excerpt
A tandemly linked set of four open reading frames (ORFs), identified as vspA-D (variable surface protein) had been identified from previous cloning and sequencing of clones from a genomic library constructed from Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strain B204. The predicted translation products of these closely related genes were homologous to (but not identical with) a characterized 39-kDa surface-exposed membrane...
