摘要：

Two new tprD alleles have been identified in Treponema pallidum: tprD2 is found in 7 of 12 T, pallidum subsp, pallidum isolates and 7 of 8 non-pallidum isolates, and tprD3 is found in one T. pallidum subsp, pertenuc isolate. Antibodies against TprD2 are found in persons with syphilis, demonstrating that tprD2 is expressed during infection.
