An N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-specific cell associated hemagglutinin (HA) was isolated and purified from a strain of Vibrio cholerae 01 by chitin affinity chromatography followed by separation on Bio Gel P-150. A single stained protein band of 47 kDa in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was observed with the purified HA. HA-antisera produced a single precipitin band against the purified HA in an immunodiffusion test without exhibiting any reactivity towards purified lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Purified HA, used as solid-phase antigen in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reacted strongly with HA-antisera but cross-reacted negligibly with antisera raised against purified LPS. Hemagglutinating activity of the purified HA was highly sensitive to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. The immunogold-labelling method using HA-antisera confirmed the location of the HA on the surface of the bacterial cells. The HA-antisera reacted with a protein component of the homologous outer membrane preparation. A significant inhibition was observed in the adhesive capability of the V. cholerae 01 strain to isolated rabbit intestinal epithelial cells (RIEC) in vitro when the later were pre-treated with the purified HA.
