Immunochemical properties of Vibrio cholerae LPS.
Immunochemical analysis of LPS isolated from Vibrio cholerae O1 and non O1 showed that this macromolecular complex shares common antigenic epitopes in the sugar moiety. The epitopes can be detected after mild alkaline hydrolysis of LPS in vitro. Membrane-associating activity of both O1 and non O1 LPS did not indicate any differences of the species.
