A DNA microarray containing fragments of 137 Borrelia burgdorferi B31 putative lipoprotein genes was used to examine Lyme disease spirochetes. DNA from B. burgdorferi sensu stricto B31, 297, and N40; Borrelia garinii IP90; and Borrelia afzelii P/Gau was fluorescently labeled and hybridized to the microarray, demonstrating the degree to which the individual putative lipoprotein genes were conserved among the genospecies. These data show that a DNA microarray can globally examine the genes encoding B. burgdorferi lipoproteins.
一个包含137个伯氏疏螺旋体B31假定脂蛋白基因片段的DNA微阵列被用于检测莱姆病螺旋体。来自严格意义上的伯氏疏螺旋体B31、297和N40;伽氏疏螺旋体IP90;以及阿氏疏螺旋体P/Gau的DNA被荧光标记并与该微阵列杂交,显示了各个假定脂蛋白基因在不同基因种间的保守程度。这些数据表明,DNA微阵列可以全面检测编码伯氏疏螺旋体脂蛋白的基因。
