Crossreactions of Escherichia coli K and O polysaccharides in antipneumococcal and anti-Salmonella sera.
Crossreactions of 24 K polysaccharides and 4 O polysaccharides of E. coli in antisera to 27 pneumococcal types, 3 anti-Salmonella sera, and anti-Klebsiella Kl serum are discussed in relation to structural features of the polysaccharides insofar as these are known. Predictions based on the crossprecipitations are also ventured for several instances in which structures are as yet undetermined.
