title: [Molecular biological differences between strains of Mycoplasma gallisepticum].
abstract: Differences in virulence of two Mycoplasma gallisepticum strains, S6 and A5969, are confirmed in experiments with chickens. Macromolecular discrepancies detected between these two strains are concerning the genomic size, electrophoretic spectra of DNA and proteins. Cross immunoblotting data with polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies reveal major immunogens of protein nature in both the strains. Homologous proteins with different electrophoretic mobility are detected in other four M. gallisepticum strains. A possible participation of these proteins of M. gallisepticum in adhesion to the host cells is discussed.
