Longitudinal accumulation of <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro-</i> grown <i>Treponema pallidum</i> subsp. <i>pallidum</i> TprK variants in the presence and absence of immune pressure

2021-06-27

Abstract excerpt

Immune evasion by Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum ( T. pallidum ) has been attributed to antigenic variation of its putative outer-membrane protein TprK. In TprK, amino acid diversity is confined to seven variable (V) regions, and generation of sequence diversity within the V regions occurs via a non-reciprocal segmental gene conversion mechanism where donor cassettes recombine into the tprK expression...
