Ehrlichia canis virB9 was cloned and expressed. The sequences of virB9 from six geographic locations were identical. virB9 was transcribed by E. canis in dogs, ticks, and cell culture. Infected dogs had antibodies to recombinant VirB9, indicating that VirB9 was produced by E. canis in dogs and was antigenic.
犬埃立克体的virB9基因被克隆并表达。来自六个地理位置的virB9序列相同。virB9在犬、蜱和细胞培养物中由犬埃立克体转录。感染的犬对重组VirB9有抗体,表明VirB9由犬埃立克体在犬体内产生且具有抗原性。
