Pneumococci of More Than One Capsular Type
Monoclonal antibodies against pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) have been shown to protect mice from fatal pneumococcal infection. PspA is highly variable serologically, raising the possibility that PspA from one strain might not be able to elicit protective responses against strains which possess serologically different PspA. We have prepared a Agtll library of pneumococcal genomic DNA and...
متن کاملEvolutionary genetics of the capsular locus of serogroup 6 pneumococci.
The evolution of the capsular biosynthetic (cps) locus of serogroup 6 Streptococcus pneumoniae was investigated by analyzing sequence variation within three serotype-specific cps genes from 102 serotype 6A and 6B isolates. Sequence variation within these cps genes was related to the genetic relatedness of the isolates, determined by multilocus sequence typing, and to the inferred patterns of re...
متن کاملReciprocal Transformations and Deformations of Integrable Hierarchies
j=s aiD i x and [K]i = ai, and ǫ is an arbitrary constant. The compatibility conditions for (2) and (3) read Ltq = [P≥1(L ) + ǫ[L]0Dx, L], q = 1, 2, . . . . (4) Note that the hierarchy (4) with ǫ = 0 was discovered by Kupershmidt [2]. The goal of the present work is to show that, under a suitable change of dependent and independent variables x, ti, and uk, the “deformed” hierarchy (4) can be tr...
متن کاملMinimum number of pneumococci required for capsular antigen to be detectable by latex agglutination.
Forty-eight strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae were tested in vitro to determine the minimum number required for pneumococcal capsular antigen to be detectable by latex agglutination. It was found that 10(6) to 10(7) microorganisms per ml were needed and that antigen remained detectable even when viable pneumococci could no longer be demonstrated.
متن کاملReciprocal transformations and local Hamiltonian structures of hydrodynamic type systems
We start from a hyperbolic DN hydrodynamic type system of dimension n which possesses Riemann invariants and we settle the necessary conditions on the conservation laws in the reciprocal transformation so that, after such a transformation of the independent variables, one of the metrics associated to the initial system be flat. We prove the following statement: let n ≥ 3 in the case of reciproc...
