Whole-cell protein patterns ofCampylobacte, cinaediandC . jennelliae,identified by SDS-PAGE, differed from one another and from five other catalase-positiveCampylobacterspecies. When immunoblotted with rabbit antisera,C . cinaediandC. jennelliaeshowed antigenic profiles that were highly species-specific and had little or no cross-reactivity with antigens of the otherCampylobacterspecies tested. Antibody responses of 13 homosexual men withC . cinaediinfection demonstrated consistent reactions with five antigens (96–41 kDa). All human sera tested, including those of 10 culture-negative individuals, reacted with theC. cinaedi59- and 64-kDa bands, but the overall responses of infected individuals were much stronger. The antigenic profiles ofC. cinaediandC. fennelliaecan be used to distinguish these species from otherCampylobacterspecies. At least sixC. cinaediantigens are immunogenic in humans.
