Characterization and immunogenicity of outer membrane proteins (oMPS) of Yersinia enterocolitica isolated from sheep and goats

Abstract: Yersinia enterocolitica serobiovar O: 2/5, O: 9/2 and O;3/5 were isolated from faecal specimens of 11 sheep and serobiovar O:2/5 and O: 3/5 were isolated from faecal spcimens of 3 goat> Infected animals had diarrhoea and were in poor health condition > Thirteen Yersinia enterocolitica, out of 14 isolates (92.8%) were positive for calcium dependency and autoagglutination, 1o isolates (71,4% ) were positive for crystal violet binding and 8 isolates (57.1% ) for guinea pigs produced conjunctivitis .
Yersinia outer membrane proteins were extracted from different serovare . These Omps PAGE and all of them gave seven protein bands with molecular weight ranging from 23 to 62 KDa
Preparation of OMPs successfully protected mice (100% ) .After immunization with OMP , mice showed an increas in antibody titer to OMP preparation by ELISA and microagglutination test .
These results indicated that the OMP preparation elicit a specitic humoral antibody response in immunized animals .
