[The anodic-moving thermolabile antigen (ATA) of gram-negative bacteria: its occurrence in rough mutants of shigella flexneri and Escherichia coli(author's transl)].
The thermolabile antigen (ATA) moving to the anode, discovered by us (9) and also described by LARSSON et al. (8), could be detected in Ra-, Rb-, Re- and Rd-mutants of Sh. flexneri and, in smaller amounts, in Rd- and Re- mutants of E. coli O8:K27:H. So it proves to be different from KUNIN'S common antigen (7). Our results lead to the conclusion that ATA is located in a more inner part of the bacterial cell wall and is fixed by noncovalent linkages.
