Western blots with T. denticola Tap1
antiserum (A), T. pallidum FlgE antiserum (B), and T.
phagedenis FlaB antiserum (C). Lanes 1, JS97; lanes 2, AS98; lanes
3, wild type. The arrow in panel A indicates the Tap1 polypeptide band.
In panel B, the polypeptide ladder is a typical pattern found in
treponemal hook polypeptides that may be due to cross-linking. The
significance of the minor band missing in lane 3 is unknown. Numbers at
right of each panel represent molecular masses in kilodaltons.
