Analysis of human serum immunoglobulin G against O-acetyl-positive and O-acetyl-negative serogroup W135 meningococcal capsular polysaccharide.
The capsular polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W135 is expressed in both O-acetyl-positive (OA+) and O-acetyl-negative (OA-) forms. This study investigates the impact of OA status (OA+ versus OA-) on serological measurements of anti-W135 immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in immunized adults. W135-specific serum antibody assignments were made for 28 postimmunization sera from ad...
متن کاملSerogroup W135 meningococcal disease in Hajj pilgrims.
An outbreak of W135 meningococcal disease occurred in the spring of 2000 among pilgrims returning from Saudi Arabia and their contacts. Clinical isolates from England and France were examined and compared with reference strains from other countries. Characterisation of isolates by a range of typing methods showed them to be of clonal origin (ET-37) and closely related to other meningococci with...
متن کامل3′-O-Acetyl-2′-deoxyuridine
In the two independent but very similar mol-ecules of the title compound, C(11)H(14)N(2)O(6), both nucleobase fragments are nearly planar (both within 0.01 Å) while the furan-ose rings exhibit (2)E-endo envelope conformations. In the crystal, the two 3'-O-acetyl-2'-de-oxy-uridine mol-ecules form a pseudosymmetric dimer of two bases connected via two nearly identical resonance-assisted N-H⋯O hyd...
متن کامل3-O-acetyl-sphingosine-series myelin glycolipids: characterization of novel 3-O-acetyl-sphingosine galactosylceramide.
Several glycosphingolipids, less polar than galactosylceramide (GalCer), have been purified from rat brain and designated as fast migrating cerebrosides (FMCs). They co-appear with GalCer during myelinogenesis, reach a peak concentration at postnatal day 25-30 and are derivatives of GalCer. Extensive structural analysis of the partially methylated alditol acetates, mass-spectrometry, and (1)H- ...
متن کاملSerogroup W135 Meningococcal Disease, The Gambia, 2012
In 2012, an outbreak of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup W135 occurred in The Gambia. The attack rate was highest among young children. The associated risk factors were male sex, contact with meningitis patients, and difficult breathing. Enhanced surveillance facilitates early epidemic detection, and multiserogroup conjugate vaccine could reduce meningococcal epidemics in The Gambia.
