Highly purified lipopolysaccharides (LPS) obtained from four strains of Pasteurella haemolytica representative of four different serotypes were studied to ascertain their overall structural elements and sugar and fatty acid compositions. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that each LPS was of the smooth-type although they differed in migration patterns. Somewhat unusual features of these LPS included t...

Mast cells in the left cranial pulmonary lobe of colostrum-deprived neonatal calves were quantified 2 and 6 h after intrabronchial inoculation with Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica A1. The mast cells were detected (1) immunohistochemically with a mouse anti-human mast cell tryptase monoclonal antibody, and (2) by metachromatic staining with low pH toluidine blue. A greater number of mast ce...
