[A comparative analysis of Francisella protein antigens].
Comparative analysis of protein antigens of cells lysates and outer membranes of different Francisella species (F. tularensis, F. novicida(-like), and F. philomigaria) by immunoblotting showed similarity and detected the individual features of each species as regards the protein antigen spectrum. Protein antigen with molecular weight of 22.5 kD localized on the outer membrane and coded for by plasmid pFNL10 was discovered for F. novicida-like stain F6168. The significance of new data for characterization of Francisella genus is discussed.
