Endotoxin neutralization with rabbit antisera to Escherichia coli J5 and other gram-negative bacteria.
To study the mechanisms of protection against endotoxin challenge offered by antisera to smooth and rough gram-negative organisms, we have developed an assay to quantitate endotoxin neutralization based on inhibition of the Limulus amoebocyte lysate test. Dilutions of different bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) were incubated with hyperimmune rabbit sera against Escherichia coli O113, E. col...
متن کاملMonoclonal antibodies specific for Escherichia coli J5 lipopolysaccharide: cross-reaction with other gram-negative bacterial species.
Four monoclonal antibodies against Escherichia coli J5 were studied. Each of these monoclonal antibodies reacted with purified lipopolysaccharides from E. coli J5, the deep rough mutant Salmonella minnesota Re595, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 as well as with the purified lipid A of P. aeruginosa. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays using the outer membranes from a v...
متن کاملCarumonam enhances reactivity of Escherichia coli with mono- and polyclonal antisera to rough Escherichia coli J5.
Escherichia coli O111 reacts only slightly with antiserum to its rough mutant E. coli J5 in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. When E. coli O111 was grown in the presence of sub-MICs of the monocyclic beta-lactam antibiotic carumonam, however, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titer increased from 1,280 to 81,920. When the bacteria were grown in the presence of carumonam, the titer that ...
متن کاملExpression of the Escherichia coli pfkA gene in Alcaligenes eutrophus and in other gram-negative bacteria.
The Escherichia coli pfkA gene has been cloned in the non-self-transmissible vector pVK101 from hybrid plasmids obtained from the Clarke and Carbon clone bank, resulting in the plasmids pAS300 and pAS100; the latter plasmid also encoded the E. coli tpi gene. These plasmids were transferred by conjugation to mutants of Alcaligenes eutrophus which are unable to grow on fructose and gluconate due ...
متن کاملConstruction of GFP vectors for use in gram-negative bacteria other than Escherichia coli.
A set of vectors containing a mutated gfp gene was constructed for use with Gram-negative bacteria other than Escherichia coli. These constructs were: pTn3gfp for making random promoter probe gfp insertions into cloned DNA in E. coli for subsequent introduction into host strains; pUTmini-Tn5gfp for making random promoter probe gfp insertions directly into host strains; p519gfp and p519nfp, broa...
