The study was carried out to characterize the human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in experimental infected HL-60 cells with Anaplasma phagocytophilum using nested PCR and A. phagocytophilum major surface protein-2 monoclonal antibody. The nested PCR revealed only one band of 926 base pair DNA from A. phagocytophilum infected HL-60 cells. The western blot revealed several bands with a dominant 44-kDa. There were intense band of 100- and 160-kDa bands. The 44-kDa component was at least 10 times more abundant than the 100- and 160-kDa bands. In conclusion, the nested PCR would be a valuable tool for the characterization of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis.
