Different antigenic properties of lipopolysaccharides isolated from Coxiella burnetii in phase I and pure phase II.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) isolated from Coxiella burnetii cells in phase I and pure phase II behaved as antigens reacting in serological tests (passive haemolysis, passive haemolysis inhibition, complement-fixation, immunoprecipitation) with sera of rabbits immunized with C. burnetii strains in the corresponding phase. No cross-reactions were observed between LPSs isolated from C. burnetii in phase I and phase II, respectively.
