Rickettsia conorii and R. prowazekii proteome analysis by 2DE-MS: a step toward functional analysis of rickettsial genomes

Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2005 Dec:1063:90-3. doi: 10.1196/annals.1355.014.

Abstract

In this work, we present a comparative two-dimensional (2D) PAGE analysis of Rickettsia conorii and Rickettsia prowazekii. This analysis reveals protein spots that were either unique to or common to both strains, some of them being identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry.
