[Chemical and serological studies of Brucella abortus 99 bacterial wall fractions]. 1977

K Tsankova

Mahadevan and Tatum's method was used to isolate four fractions from the bacterial walls of Brucella abortus 99. Determined were the amino acid composition and the purity (by means of the complement fixation test) of these fractions. Infrared spectroscopy was carried out as well. It was found that: 1. The particular fractions differ by their amino acid composition. 2. The fractions are practically pure. 3. The functional groups established confirm previous data of the author on the chemical composition of the wall, and give an idea about the distribution of these groups among the individual fractions. The fractions obtained prove to be the building ingredients of the Brucella abortus 99 bacterial wall.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002003 Brucella abortus A species of the genus BRUCELLA whose natural hosts are cattle and other bovidae. Abortion and placentitis are frequently produced in the pregnant animal. Other mammals, including humans, may be infected. Bacterium abortus,Brucella melitensis biovar abortus
D002473 Cell Wall The outermost layer of a cell in most PLANTS; BACTERIA; FUNGI; and ALGAE. The cell wall is usually a rigid structure that lies external to the CELL MEMBRANE, and provides a protective barrier against physical or chemical agents. Cell Walls,Wall, Cell,Walls, Cell
D003168 Complement Fixation Tests Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.
