Sixteen of 22 omp-1 paralogs encoding 28-kDa-range immunodominant outer membrane proteins of Ehrlichia chaffeensis were transcribed in blood monocytes of dogs throughout a 56-day infection period. Only one paralog was transcribed by E. chaffeensis in three developmental stages of Amblyomma americanum ticks before or after E. chaffeensis transmission to naïve dogs.
在长达56天的感染期内,犬埃立克体编码28 kDa范围免疫显性外膜蛋白的22个omp - 1旁系同源基因中有16个在犬血液单核细胞中被转录。在犬埃立克体传播给未感染的犬之前或之后,美洲钝眼蜱的三个发育阶段中,犬埃立克体仅转录了一个旁系同源基因。
