Citrobacter O-antigens: structure of the O-antigenic polysaccharide from Citrobacter sp. 396 [PDF]
The structure of the O-specific polysaccharide moiety of the lipopolysaccharide from Citrobacter 396 was elucidated by composition, methylation, and periodate oxidation studies. The repeating unit consists of four 2-linked mannoses and one 3-linked N-acetylglucosamine.

Influence of DM-sensitivity on immunogenicity of MHC class II restricted antigens
Background Graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD) is a major problem in allogeneic stem cell transplantation. We previously described two types of endogenous human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-II restricted antigens depending on their behavior towards HLA-DM. While

Mechanism of O-antigen distribution in lipopolysaccharide [PDF]
O-antigen units are nonuniformly distributed among lipid A-core molecules in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from gram-negative bacteria, as revealed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate; the actual distribution patterns are complex, multimodal, and strain specific.

Lipophilic O-antigens in Rhodospirillum tenue [PDF]
Lipopolysaccharides of eight wild-type strains of the phototrophic bacterium Rhodospirillum tenue have been analyzed. All of the lipopolysaccharides are highly lipophilic. The compositions of preparations obtained by the phenol-water or by the phenol-chloroform-petroleum ether procedure are very similar. The polysaccharide moiety, obtained by mild acid

Comparison of Excretory-Secretory and Somatic Antigens of Ornithobilharzia turkestanicum in Agar Gel Diffusion Test [PDF]
Background: Ornithobilharziosis as one of the parasitic infections may give rise to serious economic problems in animal husbandry. The Aim of the study was to prepare and compare the somatic and excretory-secretory (ES) antigens of O.

USE OF SEROLOGICAL INTERACTIONS TO IDENTIFY THE TELEOMORPH OF OIDIUM LINI INVOLVED IN POWDERY MILDEW OF FLAX [PDF]
Two methods were used to identify the teleomorph of Oidium lini. In the first method, antiserum of flax infected with O. lini interacted against antigens of healthy plants (flax, okra, sunflower, tobacco, peas, alfalfa, and cocklebur).
