Immunological and conformation characterization of a phosphorylated immunodominant epitope on the paired helical filaments found in Alzheimer's disease.

abstract：:Mycoplasma fermentans has been suspected as one of the causative pathogenic microorganisms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) however, the pathogenic mechanism is still unclear. We, previously, reported that glycolipid-antigens (GGPL-I and III) are the major antigens of M. fermentans. Monoclonal antibody against the GGPL-II...
