Diagnostically significant antigens of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum: identification, serological efficacy, and characterisation of the major antigenic determinants. [PDF]
The antibody response to native antigens derived from Treponema pallidum (Nichols strain) was investigated by western blotting. In early primary disease the responses were most frequently to the major immunodominant antigen, TpN47, and the flagellar ...
