The pneumococcal (Pn) conjugate vaccine includes seven different polysaccharides (PS) conjugated to CRM(197). Utilizing antigen-processing cells and a CRM(197)-specific mouse T-cell hybridoma, we found that the serotype of conjugated PnPS dramatically affected antigen processing of CRM(197). Unconjugated CRM(197) and serotype conjugates 14 and 18C were processed more efficiently.

The stems and leaves of the Dolichos biflorus plant contain a lectin that cross-reacts with antiserum against the seed lectin. This cross-reactive material (CRM) was followed during early seedling growth, stem elongation, and seed development using a specific radioimmunoassay.No CRM was detected in developing seeds, but very low levels were found in dormant and imbibed seeds. As germination pro...
