Occurrence of quinovosamine in lipopolysaccharides of Brucella species.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lipopolysaccharides obtained from Brucella abortus, B. melitensis, and B. suis, but not B. canis, were found to contain amino sugars identified as glucosamine and quinovosamine by cation exchange and thin-layer cellulose chromatography and ninhydrin degradation.

Immunochemical characterization of rough Brucella lipopolysaccharides.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were extracted from rough strains of Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis and from strains of the naturally occurring rough species Brucella ovis and Brucella canis. Brucella rough lipopolysaccharides (R-LPS) were readily distinguished from Brucella smooth lipopolysaccharides (S-LPS) and enterobacterial R-LPS, by their chemical, physical, and serological characteri...
متن کاملImmunochemical characterization of Brucella lipopolysaccharides and polysaccharides.
Purified lipopolysaccharide (LPS) extracted with phenol-water from smooth Brucella abortus was hydrolyzed with 1% acetic acid at 100 degrees C. The degraded polysaccharide (AH) released gave reactions of identity with the native polysaccharide hapten (NH) in phenol-water- or trichloroacetic acid-extracted endotoxin preparations of B. abortus and with the polysaccharide (poly B) extracted by tri...
متن کاملExpression and Purification of Brucella-Specific Nanobodies
Background: Brucellosis is still considered as one of the major zoonosis afflicting Syrian health and economy. This disease is caused by members of the genus Brucella which are gram-negative bacteria living facultatively within mammalian cells during infection. Objectives: In this paper, a strategy was developed to introduce a new generation of binders called Nanobodies (Nbs) in our combat aga...
متن کاملImmunogens of Brucella Abortus S19 Identified By Two-Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis and Immunoblotting
Background: Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and several antigenic proteins of Brucella have been considered for preparation of diagnostic reagents and subunit vaccines. The objective of this study was to identify and compare immunogens of B. abortus S19 which induce humoral immune responses in human, goat and rabbit. Material and Methods: The bacterial whole cell extract was prepared in extraction b...
متن کاملStructural properties of lipopolysaccharides from Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia prowazekii and their chemical similarity to the lipopolysaccharide from Proteus vulgaris OX19 used in the Weil-Felix test.
The lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) isolated from typhus group (TG) rickettsiae Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia prowazekii were characterized by chemical analysis and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) followed by silver staining. LPSs from two species of TG rickettsiae contained glucose, 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid, glucosamine, quinovosamine, phosphate, and f...
