Abstract excerpt
Twenty eight C. psittaci abortion strains had been previously classified in to 4 immunologically distinct groups on the basis of cross-protection experiments in a mouse model. To identify the molecular basis of their immunological divergence 4 representative strains were investigated by cellular, molecular and immunological techniques. An identical pattern was obtained by Alul digestion of the amplified major...
