چکیده
The isoelectric point of the K99 antigen in partially purified preparations isolated from Escherichia coli B41 was 4.2. Electrofocused K99 antigen hemagglutinated guinea pig and sheep erythrocytes and gave a single precipitin line on diffusion against antisera to E. coli B41 and absorbed factor K99 antisera.

Production of K99 antigen by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains of antigen groups o8, o9, o20, and o101 grown at different conditions.
The production of the K99 antigen by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strains with various O antigens was investigated by means of slide agglutination tests, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The extent of K99 production appeared to be dependent on the nutrient medium, as well as on the incubation temperature. Minimal salt medium with glucose and se...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of arcelin seed protein from common bean.
Arcelin, a seed protein originally discovered in wild bean accessions, was purified, characterized, and compared to phaseolin, the major seed protein of common bean, and to phytohemagglutinin (PHA), the major bean seed lectin. Arcelin and PHA has several characteristics in common. Both were glycoproteins having similar subunit M(r), deglycosylated M(r), and amino acid compositions. The two prot...

Pregnant cattle were either vaccinated subcutaneously with (i) a suspension of purified Escherichia coli K99 pili, (ii) a Formalin-killed whole cell bacterin containing enterotoxigenic E. coli strain B44 (O9:K30;K99:H-), or (iii) a bacterin containing six different strains of bovine enterotoxigenic E. coli (multiple-strain bacterin), or were left as nonvaccinated controls. After birth, calves w...
متن کاملOutbreak of K99+ Escherichia coli Infection and Serological Survey in Calves
The isolation of K99 Escherichia coli (K99 E. coli) was performed using diarrheal stool which occurred in calves from january through October, 1988. Moreover, bacteriolgical examination of isolated K99 E. coli and the adherent condition of K99 antigen in the intestinal canal of a dead calf was observed. In addition an epidemiological survey mainly including antibody examination of adult cattle ...
متن کاملPurification and some properties of hemagglutinating protein mutina from bushmaster Lachesis muta snake venom.
Lachesis muta snake venom induced aggregation of bromelain sensitized human erythrocytes at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. The hemagglutinating protein was purified by DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed at least three bands, whereas SDS electrophoresis in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol showed a single one. Isoelectric focusing revealed hemagglu...
