Abstract
Changes of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Coxiella burnetii strain Prisci lla during chick embryo yolk sac passaging were observed by SDS-PAGE a nd immunoblot analysis. The course of LPS phase variation was similar to that found in other C. burnetii strains, i.e. a conversion of the p hase I to the intermediate phase II after 10 passages. The intermediat e phase II LPS of Priscilla strain was also detectable by immunoblot a nalysis using immune serum against Priscilla strain in the 30th passag e.
