We studied a protein antigen, designated pH 6 Ag, that has the same regulation of expression as the previously described Yersinia pestis pH 6 Ag. Monospecific antiserum to this antigen recognized several proteins, ranging from 15 to over 75 kilodaltons (kDa), which were strongly expressed when Y. pestis was cultivated at 37 degrees C and pH 6 but were expressed weakly, if at all, at 37 degrees C and pH 8 and at...
