Abstract excerpt
Three mutants of Mycoplasma hominis PG21 were isolated and shown to contain alterations in the size of a repeat-containing gene encoding a surface-localized 135-kDa antigen designated Lmp1. The mutants were isolated by cultivating M. hominis for a 3-month period in the presence of Lmp1-specific monoclonal antibody (MAb) 552. The epitope for MAb 552 was localized at the repeated part of the protein. The gene...
