the specific aims of the studies reviewed here were to design a rational purification strategy for reiter treponeme antigens using combinations of different chromatographic principles , to isolate and characterize the reiter treponemal antigens , especially the antigens labelled tr-b , tr-c , tr-dl , tr-d2 , and tr-e cross-reacting with antigens in treponema pallidum , to develop and evaluate the use of these purified antigens in syphilis diagnostic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays ( elisa ) , to investigate whether reiter treponeme antigens can induce protective immunity against experimental syphilis in rabbits .
