Antigenicity of lipopolysaccharides from Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in passive haemagglutination tests and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
Passive haemagglutination tests and ELISA were used to study the serological activity of homologous and heterologous rabbit antisera against LPS prepared from various strains of C. jejuni/coli. In both test systems the homologous antisera exhibited serological activity against LPS. The heterologous antisera showed some degree of intra- and inter- species cross-reactivity. The cross-reacting was most pronounced in the ELISA. Erythrocytes sensitized with untreated LPS gave higher antibody-titres than erythrocytes sensitized with alkali-treated LPS in the haemagglutination tests.
