The identity and role of listerial antigens recognized by antibodies following listerial infection is largely unknown. We identified the listerial ferritin-like protein Frm as a target of the humoral response following infection of mice with pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes. Specific antibodies to Frm are detected in antisera of mice infected with a pathogenic strain but not in antisera of mice infected with a...
