Receptors on chicken erythrocytes for F42 fimbriae of Escherichia coli isolated from pigs.
Haemagglutination of purified F42 fimbriae was found to be inhibited by N-acetyl-galactosamine. Purified F42 fimbrial adhesin reacted with distinct membrane components from chicken erythrocytes (35, 37 and 40 kDa) in immunoblot analysis, suggesting that the binding occurred to proteins or glycoproteins.
