Chemo-immunological Studies on Conjugated Carbohydrate-proteins

چکیده

1. Type-specific antipneumococcus immunity has been induced in rabbits by immunization with antigen prepared by combining a specific derivative of the capsular polysaccharide of Type III Pneumococcus with globulin from horse serum. 2. Rabbits immunized with this antigen acquire active immunity against infection with virulent Type III pneumococci. 3. The sera of the immune rabbits contain type-specific antibodies which precipitate the Type III capsular polysaccharide, agglutinate Type III pneumococci, and specifically protect mice against Type III infection. 4. The experimental data are discussed with reference to: (1) the concurrence in the immune sera of type-specific antibodies for Pneumococcus and precipitins for horse globulin; (2) the determining influence of the capsular polysaccharide on the specificity of the antigen as a whole; (3) the unity of the type-specific precipitins, agglutinins, and protective antibodies induced by a single component of the pneumococcus in chemical union with an unrelated, animal protein.

The fundamental studies of Landsteiner and his coworkers (1) on complex antigens have established the important principle that the introduction into the protein molecule of a simple non-protein radical confers a new immunological specificity on the antigenic compound. Furthermore, this newly acquired specificity has been shown to depend upon the nature of the new chemical grouping thus introduc...

The function of carbohydrates as determinative substances in bacterial specificity is well illustrated in the immunological differentiation of thespecific types of pneumococci and of Friedlander bacilli. Previous studies have demonstrated that the presence of type-specific polysaccharides in these encapsulated organisms determines the antigenic properties of the cell and the serological relatio...

As a result of the work of numerous investigators a striking advance has been made during the past decade in our knowledge of the chemical and immunological properties of that unique class of naturally occurring substances, the specific bacterial polysaccharides. Complex carbohydrates possessing immunologically specific properties have been found widely distributed in many varieties of differen...
