title: [Comparative study of the synthesis and specificity of enterotoxin from Vibrio cholerae O139 serotype using monoclonal antibodies].
abstract: Strains of V. cholerae serovar 0139 showed a higher intensity of multiplication and lesser nutritive requirements and produced 2-5 times higher amounts of enterotoxin during in-depth culturing than cholera vibrios of groups O1 and non-O1. R-forms of V. cholerae were characterized by the highest production of toxin. Dot-immunoanalysis and immunoblotting with monoclonal antibodies demonstrated the identity of cholera toxin and enterotoxin of V. cholerae serovar O139. The authors come to a conclusion that selective efficacy of the developed vaccines against diarrhea caused by V. cholerae serovar O139 depends on the presence of homologous O-antigen in their composition.
