Expansion of the pfam 01617 family of major outer membrane proteins in Ehrlichia sp.A. Findley, C. Gissendanner, and M. Spratt gram – organism; deficient in structural components, including peptidoglycans & lipopolysaccharides have complex protein structure in the outer membrane membrane proteins have a potential role in adaptive strategy of organism – assisting immune evasion & host-pathogen interactions pfam01617 – major outer membrane protein provides antigenic variation within mammalian host differential expression between mammalian & arthropod host .):
