Figure 2. Western blot performed with a serum sample from a patient with an endocarditis caused by Bartonella quintana. Molecular masses (in kilodaltons) are given to the left of the panels. A) Untreated serum sample analyzed with B. quintana (lane 1), B. henselae (lane 2), B. elizabethae (lane 3), B. vinsonii subsp. arupensis (lane 4), and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii (lane 5) antigens. B) B. quintana–adsorbed serum sample analyzed with B. quintana (lane 1), B. henselae (lane 2), B. elizabethae (lane 3), B. vinsonii subsp. arupensis (lane 4), and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii (lane 5) antigens. C) B. henselae–adsorbed serum analyzed with B. quintana (lane 1), B. henselae (lane 2), B. elizabethae (lane 3), B. vinsonii subsp. arupensis (lane 4), and B. vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii (lane 5) antigens.
