The tprK Gene Is Heterogeneous among Treponema pallidum Strains and Has Multiple Alleles

We have previously shown that the TprK antigen of T. pallidum, Nichols strain, is predominantly expressed in treponemes obtained 10 days after infection and that the hydrophilic domain of TprK is a target of opsonic antibodies and confers significant protection against homologous challenge. The T. p...
