Chemical composition and biological activity of lipopolysaccharides prepared from type strains of Campylobacter jejuni and Campolybacter coli. 1984

V Naess, and T Hofstad

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were extracted from seven type strains of Campylobacter jejuni and one type strain of Campylobacter coli with 45 per cent aqueous phenol. The sugar components present in all LPS were glucose, galactose, L-glycero-D-manno-heptose, 2-keto-3-deoxy-octulosonic acid and glucosamine. All but one LPS contained galactosamine, and two strains contained in addition mannose. The fatty acids present were 3-hydroxy-tetradecanoic acid, n-hexadecanoic acid and trace amounts of n-tetradecanoic acid. The LPS preparations examined showed anti-complementary effect, and were able to gelatinize Limulus amoebocyte lysate. LPS of the C.jejuni strain tested (NCTC 11168) was found to be lethal for mice and to produce the local Shwartzman reaction in rabbits.

D007957 Leukocyte Adherence Inhibition Test Test for cell-mediated antitumor immunity and related serum blocking factors based on the finding that leukocytes from cancer patients, but not from controls, when mixed in vitro with antigenic extracts of tumors of the same histological type, undergo a diminution in their normal adherence to glass surfaces. Sera from tumor-bearing patients block the LAI reaction of their own leukocytes or those of other patients with the same type of tumor. LAI Test,LAI Tests,Test, LAI,Tests, LAI
D008070 Lipopolysaccharides Lipid-containing polysaccharides which are endotoxins and important group-specific antigens. They are often derived from the cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and induce immunoglobulin secretion. The lipopolysaccharide molecule consists of three parts: LIPID A, core polysaccharide, and O-specific chains (O ANTIGENS). When derived from Escherichia coli, lipopolysaccharides serve as polyclonal B-cell mitogens commonly used in laboratory immunology. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Lipopolysaccharide,Lipoglycans
