ES Sun, BJ Molini, LK Barrett, A Centurion-Lara… - Microbes and …, 2004 - Elsevier
A 12-membered Treponema pallidum repeat (Tpr) protein family has been identified in T.
pallidum subsp. pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis. The subfamily I Tpr proteins (C, D,
F, and I) possess conserved sequence at the N-and C-termini and central regions that
differentiate the members. These proteins may be important in the immune response during
syphilis infection and in protective immunity. Strong antibody responses have been
observed toward some of the subfamily I Tpr proteins during infection with different syphilis …
