Restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) with three enzymes SmaI, PstI, BamHI- was used to identify 13 different genomic groups among 37 Mycoplasma bovis strains. One genomic group was comprised of 14 strains. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) patterns for one strain chosen from each genomic group and an international reference strain PG45 were all similar. Antigenic variability in M. bovis species was investigated by immunoblotting, using serum from a calf that had been naturally infected with M. bovis and three M. bovis-specific monoclonal antibodies--mAbs N2, I2 and 5D7. Twenty M. bovis field strains were tested, comprising one from each genomic group, six from the same genomic group and the reference strain. Antigenic profiles obtained with calf serum differed markedly one from the other, the heterogeneity being equally great among the strains belonging to the same genomic group as those coming from different groups. A stable antigen common to 164 out of 168 strains was detected by mAb N2, whilst with mAbs I2 and 5D7, two different membrane antigenic systems were demonstrated that were strikingly variable. These variations in expression occurred not only from one strain to another, but also within the same lineage of clones from a single cell.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009174 Mycoplasma A genus of gram-negative, mostly facultatively anaerobic bacteria in the family MYCOPLASMATACEAE. The cells are bounded by a PLASMA MEMBRANE and lack a true CELL WALL. Its organisms are pathogens found on the MUCOUS MEMBRANES of humans, ANIMALS, and BIRDS.

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.

D000940 Antigenic Variation Change in the surface ANTIGEN of a microorganism. There are two different types. One is a phenomenon, especially associated with INFLUENZA VIRUSES, where they undergo spontaneous variation both as slow antigenic drift and sudden emergence of new strains (antigenic shift). The second type is when certain PARASITES, especially trypanosomes, PLASMODIUM, and BORRELIA, survive the immune response of the host by changing the surface coat (antigen switching).
