Ten isolates of the Ap-Variant 1 strain of Anaplasma phagocytophilum were made in the Ixodes scapularis (I. scapularis)-derived cell line, ISE6. Two isolates were obtained from laboratory-infected goats and eight isolates were obtained from field-collected I. scapularis ticks. Each isolate showed 16S rRNA sequences identical to those as previously described for the Ap-Variant 1 strain. These are the first tissue culture isolates of the Ap-Variant 1 strain and will allow for further characterization of the biological and antigenic properties of this strain.
嗜吞噬细胞无形体Ap-变异体1菌株的十个分离株在来源于肩突硬蜱(肩突硬蜱)的细胞系ISE6中制备。两个分离株从实验室感染的山羊中获得,八个分离株从野外采集的肩突硬蜱中获得。每个分离株的16S rRNA序列与先前描述的Ap-变异体1菌株的序列相同。这些是Ap-变异体1菌株的首批组织培养分离株,将有助于进一步表征该菌株的生物学和抗原特性。
