Fractionation of the biomass of 3 serogroup B N. meningitidis strains, obtained from solid serum-free and liquid synthetic media, by increasing concentrations of cetavlone revealed that the formation of natural polysaccharide-protein complexes with the ratio of their components approaching 1:1 was possible under the conditions ensuring the intensive synthesis of capsular polysaccharide. Two strains, 125 and 1642, grown on a solid amino peptide-containing medium regularly produced two polysaccharide-protein complexes with the protein/polysaccharide ratio approaching 1:1. One of these complexes passed easily into the supernatant fluid and could be precipitated with 0.1% cetavlone. The second complex was more firmly bound to the outer membrane of the cell and could be precipitated with 1% cetavlone. In most experiments an additional fraction with high protein content in relation to sialic acid was isolated from the biomass.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009345 Neisseria meningitidis A species of gram-negative, aerobic BACTERIA. It is a commensal and pathogen only of humans, and can be carried asymptomatically in the NASOPHARYNX. When found in cerebrospinal fluid it is the causative agent of cerebrospinal meningitis (MENINGITIS, MENINGOCOCCAL). It is also found in venereal discharges and blood. There are at least 13 serogroups based on antigenic differences in the capsular polysaccharides; the ones causing most meningitis infections being A, B, C, Y, and W-135. Each serogroup can be further classified by serotype, serosubtype, and immunotype.
