| Abstract |
In previous studies with hyperimmune rabbit sera and monoclonal antibodies against P1 protein of M. pneumoniae, evidence was obtained of a shared antigenic determinant with a single protein of M. genitalium. Because of biological and morphological similarities between these two human Mycoplasma species, attempts were made to characterize this cross-reacting protein of M. genitalium (designated MgPa). The protein was surface exposed, and had an estimated molecular weight of 140 K daltons. Electron microscopy using monoclonal antibodies produced against either MgPa or P1 demonstrated that MgPa is located over the surface of the terminal structure of M. genitalium which is covered by a nap layer. These immunologic and morphologic findings suggest that the MgPa protein of M. genitalium could be the counterpart of the P1 protein of M. pneumoniae.
