Proteins of typhus and spotted fever group rickettsiae [PDF]
Purified radioactive rickettsiae were obtained from irradiated and cycloheximide-inhibited L cells, and their proteins were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Rickettsial species could be distinguished by comparing the relative mobilities of constituent proteins after migration of two differentially labeled preparations in a single gel ...
