title: [Bidimensional immunoelectrophoretic study of the antigenic composition of the membrane in various mycoplasma strains].
abstract: Membrane antigenic composition of Acheloplasma laidlawii PG9, A. granularum BTS-39, and Mycoplasma fermentans PG 18(G) was determined by means of bidimensional immunoelectrophoresis in the presence of sodium desoxycholate 0.5%. Depending upon the mycoplasma species from which membranes were obtained, 7 to 15 antigens were evidenced. Using sodium desoxycholate presents the advantage over non-ionic detergents to dissolve better the mycoplasmic membrane antigenic complexes. A comparative study of five strains belonging to the above-noted species confirms the serological heterogeneity of the Mycoplasmateles order and shows variability at the membrane antigenic composition level of Acheloplasma laidlawii.
