Presence of 22- and 17-kDa proteins reacting with sera in mice experimentally infected with Brachyspira (Serpulina) hyodysenteriae.
The antibodies to B. (S.)hyodysenteriae in experimentally infected mice were detected by microscopic agglutination test (MAT) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The reactions in MAT were serotype specific while those in ELISA were common to both strains. A further investigation with immunoblotting technique demonstrated that 22- and 17-kDa proteins reacted strongly with the sera. The proteins in ATCC 27164 strain strongly reacted with the serum from ATCC 31212 strain-infected mouse and vice versa. These proteins were sensitive to proteinase K.
