Structural studies on the immunogenic form of the enterobacterial common antigen.
It has been shown that enterobacterial common antigen is chemically linked to the hexose region of the R1-type lipopolysaccharide fo the Escherichia coli strain F470 which is immunogenic for this antigen. The number of R core stubs substituted is very small but it is a-parently sufficient to induce antibody formation to the enterobacterial common antigen in the rabbit.
