Abstract excerpt
In the plant-pathogenic mollicute Spiroplasma citri, spiralin is the major lipoprotein at the cell surface and is thought to be one of the components involved in the interactions of the spiroplasma with its insect vector. With the aim of identifying surface proteins other than spiralin, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were produced by immunization of mice with the spiralin-defective S. citri mutant GII3-9a2. mAb...
