title: Analysis of caprine mycoplasmas and mycoplasma infections in goats using two-dimensional electrophoresis and immunoblotting.
abstract: Seven strains of mycoplasma have been characterized by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in combination with immunoblotting. The two-dimensional patterns of the strains were compared and similarities and differences are discussed. Hyperimmune rabbit antisera were used in the immunoblotting experiment to study the immunological cross-reactivity between the species. Sera from goats, naturally and experimentally infected with mycoplasma, were also used in the immunoblotting experiment to study the immune responses of the infected animals.
