Coxiella burneti strains 48 and Nine Mile, serologically in phase II, changed their antigenic properties and virulence for guinea pigs and mice upon passaging in immunosuppressed mice. Conversion to phase I of these strains in a system lacking antibody response throws doubt on the importance of specific antibodies in phase variation of C. burneti.
柯克斯体菌株48和九里株,血清学上处于II相,在免疫抑制小鼠中传代后,其抗原特性以及对豚鼠和小鼠的毒力发生了改变。在缺乏抗体应答的系统中,这些菌株转变为I相,这使人对特异性抗体在伯氏柯克斯体相变中的重要性产生怀疑。
