Immunoblot analysis of antigens associated with Haemophilus ducreyi using serum from immunised rabbits.

    Abstract

    Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting were used to characterise isolates of Haemophilus ducreyi. Isolates of H ducreyi were heterogeneous in protein composition, but isolates from single outbreaks appeared similar both in protein profiles and antigenic analysis. Rabbits immunised with H ducreyi responded with a vigorous humoral immune response in which multiple antigenic polypeptides were detected. The most prominent antigens had molecular masses of 67, 42, 22.5, and 20 kilodaltons.
