Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel leptospiral lipoprotein with OmpA domain

Abstract excerpt

A novel antigenic protein of pathogenic Leptospira, Loa22, was identified by using the PhoA fusion method followed by immunoblotting with convalescent mouse sera. Loa22 was shown to be a lipoprotein having a C-terminal OmpA consensus domain. Loa22 was detected among pathogenic leptospires but not among non-pathogenic leptospires, suggesting the possible involvement of this protein in virulence. The results of...
