^# Monoclonal antibody subgroup according to the ‘Dresden’ panel.
* Determined by UPGMA clustering method based on multiple sequence alignment.
^A ORF 13 (lpg0764/lpg0764b/lpg0763) of Philadelphia 1 not displayed, ORF 13-A of strain Lens was used.
^a Partial duplication of ORF 2 (lpg0778).
^{b, c} Transposase; transposase disrupted.
^†Lag-1 of Görlitz 6543 has no functional start codon.
Underlined numbers indicate different clusters of corresponding ORF (see also Figure 2).
The highly conserved 15 kb region (ORF14 – ORF 28) is not completely shown and only reflected by WecA and GalE.
