difosfatidilgliceroles
Scope note: Fosfolípidos ácidos compuestos de dos moléculas de ácido fosfatídico unidas covalentemente a una molécula de glicerol. Se dan principalmente en las membranas internas mitocondriales y en las membranas plasmáticas bacterianas. Son los principales componentes antigénicos del antígeno de tipo Wasserman que se utiliza en el SERODIAGNÓSTICO no treponémico de la SÍFILIS.

Scope note: Acidic phospholipids composed of two molecules of phosphatidic acid covalently linked to a molecule of glycerol. They occur primarily in mitochondrial inner membranes and in bacterial plasma membranes. They are the main antigenic components of the Wassermann-type antigen that is used in nontreponemal SYPHILIS SERODIAGNOSIS.
