title: Antibody inhibition of ferripyochelin binding to Pseudomonas aeruginosa cell envelopes.
abstract: A 14K molecular weight protein which has been shown to bind ferripyochelin has been purified from cell envelopes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa low iron grown cells. The purified protein migrated as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and was shown to be free of contamination by lipopolysaccharide or carbohydrate. Antiserum to this protein was made in rabbits and was shown to react with the purified protein by immunoblot assay. The immunoglobulin G fraction of this antiserum blocked binding of [59Fe]pyochelin to isolated cell envelopes of P. aeruginosa in a dose-dependent fashion.
