PCRs were standardized for six effector yops (YopE, YopH, YopJ, YopM, YopO and YopT), three translocator yops (YopB, YopD and YopK) and a regulator LcrV gene. Amplification of all the 10 <jats:italic>yop<\/jats:italic> genes was observed in isolates recovered from pneumonic patients and in 5 of 7 rodents from outbreak regions. Among these, amplification of the <jats:italic>yopD<\/jats:italic> gene was absent in all eight isolates, and that of y<jats:italic>opM<\/jats:italic> in all except one (10R). One of the isolates from rodents of the Deccan plateau (24H) was consistently negative for all the <jats:italic>yops.<\/jats:italic> Cloning and expression of truncated <jats:italic>yopM<\/jats:italic> (780 bp), <jats:italic>yopB<\/jats:italic> (700 bp) and <jats:italic>lcrV<\/jats:italic> (796 bp) genes in pQE vectors with SG13009 host cells yielded recombinant proteins for generation of monoclonal antibodies for further use in enzyme immunoassay. Ten stable reactive clones for YopB, nine for YopM and six for LcrV were obtained, all of them exhibiting specific reactions only to <jats:italic>Y. pestis.<\/jats:italic> Testing of 26 <jats:italic>Y. pestis<\/jats:italic> isolates by monoclonal antibody dot\u2010ELISA and Western blotting provided results identical to PCR, suggesting that the isolates that failed to show PCR amplification also had no expression of their respective proteins. The <jats:italic>Y. pestis<\/jats:italic> isolates of outbreak regions had their virulence factors intact in the LCR plasmid. <jats:italic>Yersinia pestis<\/jats:italic> isolates recovered from rodents of the Deccan plateau were relatively heterogeneous. It appears that a long residency of <jats:italic>Y. pestis<\/jats:italic> of nearly 100 years in the enzootic plague foci has resulted in shedding of virulence genes in the LCR plasmid region in a fairly large proportion of the organisms, possibly due to natural recombination.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0463.2006.apm_254.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,23]],"date-time":"2006-02-23T16:53:40Z","timestamp":1140713620000},"page":"15-22","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Virulence markers of LCR plasmid in Indian isolates of <i>Yersinia pestis<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"114","author":[{"given":"REKHA","family":"KHUSHIRAMANI","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"URMIL","family":"TUTEJA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JYOTI","family":"SHUKLA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ANUPAMA","family":"PANIKKAR","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"HARSH VARDHAN","family":"BATRA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001090050148"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/IAI.67.4.1922-1928.1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2958.1997.2731623.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.97.16.8778"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cimid.2004.08.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","first-page":"787","article-title":"Isolation and identification of Yersinia pestis responsible for the recent plague outbreaks in India","volume":"71","author":"Batra HV","year":"1996","journal-title":"Curr Sci"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","volume-title":"Molecular Cloning: a Laboratory Manual","author":"Maniatis T","year":"1982"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.34.4.279"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","volume-title":"Molecular Cloning: a Laboratory Manual","author":"Sambrook J","year":"1989"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"265","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9258(19)52451-6","article-title":"Protein measurement with the folin phenol reagent","volume":"193","author":"Lowry's OH","year":"1951","journal-title":"J Biol Chem"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.76.9.4350"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/256495a0"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1574-6968.2000.tb09238.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","first-page":"119","article-title":"Resurgence of the plague in the Ikongo district of Madagascar in 1998","volume":"94","author":"Duplantier JM","year":"2001","journal-title":"2.
