ABSTRACT:
Antigenic rare outer membrane proteins of Spirochaetaceae are obtained from organisms extracted from infected tissue by a novel process of isolation utilizing a discontinuous Ficoll gradient separation, release of outer membrane in a low isotonic and low pH buffer and identification of outer membrane by use of a lipid soluble dye. Four antigenic rare outer membrane proteins of T. pallidum subsp. pallidum useful in diagnosis and prophylaxis of syphilis are provided. Also provided are the amino acid sequences of two rare outer membrane proteins of T. pallidum subsp. pallidum, called TROMP 1 and TROMP 2, and the nucleotide sequences encoding them.
