Abstract
A tandem pair of nearly identical genes from Serpulina hyodysenteriae (B204) were cloned and sequenced. The full open reading frame of one g ene and the partial open reading frame of the neighboring gene appear to encode secreted proteins which are homologous to, yet distinct from , the 39-kDa extracytoplasmic protein purified from the membrane fract ion of S. hyodysenteriae. We have designated these newly identified ge nes vspA and vspB (for variable surface protein).
