Comparison of Crude Protein Prifiles of Isolates of dermatophilus cingolensis from Cattle by SDS-page

Abstract

Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used in the analysis of protein profiles, for the characterization of eight isolates of dermatophilus congolensis from clinical infected cattle. All the eight isolates had a band at the 21KDa protein level. This is an indication that all the isolates are related and and could belong to the same species. Five of the isolates were more closely related to one another, than the others, by having three similar proteins bands at the 72, 70 and 66KDa. Level. Sodium dodecyl slphate poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis is suggested as a routine adjunct method to the present method of characterization and identification of dermatophilus congolensis.
