Synthetic disaccharide-protein antigens for production of specific 04 and 09 antisera for immunofluorescence diagnosis of salmonella. 1977

B Svenungsson, and A A Lindberg

The synthetic disaccharides abequose 1 leads to a 3 mannose and tyvelose 1 leads to a 3 mannose, representative of Salmonella O-antigen 4 and 9 respectively, were covalently linked to bovine serum albumin (BSA) . Antisera from rabbits immunized with these immunogens were used in indirect immunofluorescence assay for the identification of group B (O-antigen 4) and D (O-antigen 9) Salmonella. A total of 1030 enteric bacterial strains were tested, including 207 group B and 55 group D Salmonella. The anti-abequose-mannose-BSA serum correctly identified all Salmonella group B strains tested. The anti-tyvelose-mannose-BSA serum correctly indentified all Salmonella group D bacteria examined with the exception of 11 of 18 Vi-positive S. typhi strains which did not not stain until the Vi-antigen was removed by boiling. Among the 768 strains representing Salmonella other than groups B and D, E. coli, Shigella, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Serratia, Proteus, Vibrio, Pseudomonas, Aeromonas, Yersinia, Bacteroides and Fusobacterium only 5 positive reactions were found. These were observed with Y. pseudotuberculosis strains which have the same disaccharide antigenic determinants as Salmonella O-antigen 4 and 9 respectively. The high specificity of the antisera elicited by the synthetic disaccharide-BSA immunogens make them suitable for a specific and rapid identification of Salmonella bacteria belonging to serogroups B and D.

D004755	Enterobacteriaceae	A family of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that do not form endospores. Its organisms are distributed worldwide with some being saprophytes and others being plant and animal parasites. Many species are of considerable economic importance due to their pathogenic effects on agriculture and livestock.	Coliform Bacilli,Enterobacteria,Ewingella,Leclercia,Paracolobactrum,Sodalis

D000918	Antibody Specificity	The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site.	Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
D012475	Salmonella	A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that utilizes citrate as a sole carbon source. It is pathogenic for humans, causing enteric fevers, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia. Food poisoning is the most common clinical manifestation. Organisms within this genus are separated on the basis of antigenic characteristics, sugar fermentation patterns, and bacteriophage susceptibility.
