Cloning of Brucella abortus gene and characterization of expressed 26-kilodalton periplasmic protein: potential use for diagnosis
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
Brucella spp. are the causative agents of brucellosis in many different hosts, including humans. Most of the serological methods of diagnosis are based on the detection of antilipopolysaccharide antibodies, which makes the differentiation of vaccinated animals from infected animals difficult. By using molecular biology techniques, a gene that encodes a 26-kDa protein (BP26) was isolated from a Brucella abortus...
