Abstract excerpt
The structural gene encoding Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae-RTX-toxin I (ApxIA), one of the major hemolytic and cytolytic toxins of the organism, was cloned from serotype 10. The nucleotide sequence data showed that the gene from serotype 10 was 98% identical to that from serotype 1 at both DNA and amino acid levels. The sequence difference was found to localize at the 3' terminal region of the gene. We then...
