Abstract excerpt
Bordetella bronchiseptica pertactin (prn) is an outer membrane protein which has been implicated as both an adhesin and a protective antigen that induces immunity against atrophic rhinitis in pigs. Previous studies demonstrated extensive heterogeneity of the prn sequence within two distinct regions of amino acid repeats for B. bronchiseptica isolated from the United States and Europe. By deducing the amino acid...
