Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies to Rickettsia rickettsii [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1984 Five mouse ascitic fluids (MAFs) containing monoclonal antibody to Rickettsia rickettsii were produced from three original fusions by murine hybridoma technology. The five MAFs were fractionated and purified; each contained monoclonal antibody of the immunoglobulin G2a subclass.

Pathogenic rickettsiae encode a secreted lipase that facilitates intracytosolic colonization in host cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONEKey cellular processes for the rickettsial obligate intracellular lifestyle, including internalization by phagocytosis, regulation of intracellular trafficking, and evasion of lysosomal destruction to establish an intracytosolic replication niche, remain

Absorption of Rickettsia rickettsii antibodies by Rickettsia rickettsii antigens in four diagnostic tests [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1983 Immunoabsorption profiles were determined for Rickettsia rickettsii antigens used in four confirmatory tests for detection of antibodies to Rocky Mountain spotted fever. A human serum reactive in the four tests was absorbed with each test antigen and then reexamined by all four tests.

Detection of fibrils associated with Rickettsia rickettsii [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1983 The ultrastructural appearance of the "halozone" formed at the interface between the spotted fever agent Rickettsia rickettsii and the cytoplasm of persistently infected cultured vole cells (Microtus pennsylvanicus) was studied by transmission electron microscopy. In sections of epoxy-embedded specimens stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, the
