Epitope analysis of lipid A preparations from Pseudomonas diminuta and Pseudomonas vesicularis.
In vitro antigenic reactivity of lipid A from Pseudomonas diminuta and Pseudomonas vesicularis with homologous and heterologous lipid A antibodies including monoclonal antibodies was studied by inhibition test of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results suggest that both Pseudomonas lipid As have very similar epitopes, including species-specific and cross-reactive epitopes as compared with enterobacterial lipid A.
