Antigenic analysis of the major outer membrane protein of Haemophilus somnus with monoclonal antibodies.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The major outer membrane protein of Haemophilus somnus possesses at least five distinct epitopes. Three surface-exposed epitopes on the major outer membrane protein include a conserved epitope with potential for development of a vaccine and a diagnostic test and two variable epitopes responsible for antigenic differences among strains; the remaining two epitopes are well preserved among strains but not exposed on the cell surface.
