Isolation and sequencing of the gene coding for an antigenic 34-kilodalton protein of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.

摘要

The gene coding for an antigenic 34-kDa protein of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis was isolated and sequenced. The 897-bp open reading frame coded for a novel protein containing specific B epitopes. The occurrence of well-defined hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions suggests the wall location of the protein.
