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.
