Chemical Characterization of Lipopolysaccharides from Proteus Strains Used in Weil‐Felix Test [PDF]

Microbiology and Immunology, 1990
AbstractThe lipopolysaccharides (LPS) extracted from Proteus strains OX2, OX19, and OXK used as antigens in the Weil‐Felix test, were characterized by chemical analysis and SDS‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE). To separate the O‐polysaccharide, core‐oligosaccharide, and lipid A moieties, each LPS was treated with 2% acetic acid ...
