ABSTRACT:
Sequences encoding two immunoreactive glycoproteins were cloned fromEhrlichia canis(p153 gene) andEhrlichia chaffeensis(p156 gene). These two glycoproteins are species-specific immunoreactive orthologs that are useful as subunit vaccines and for serologic and molecular diagnostics forE. canisandE. chaffeensis.
