Either the molecular weight of galactosyltransferase, has been overestimated, or a discrepancy exists between the actual molecular weight of galactosyltransferase and that predicted by the bovine cDNA clone isolated by Binding studies with antibodies having phosphorylcholine specificity and fragments derived from their homologous Streptococcus pneumoniae type 27 The capsular polysaccharide from Streptococcus pneumoniae type 27 (S-27) has been fragmented into oligosaccharides by controlled degradations. Binding of these derived small ligands with heterogeneous rabbit anti-S-27 antibody of selected phosphorylcholine affinity indicates that a major immunodeterminant of S-27 is the phosphorylcholine moiety, but that these anti-PC. antibodies are also capable of binding to the polysaccharide backbone from which the P.C. has An enzyme-based protocol for cell-free synthesis of nature-identical capsular oligosaccharides from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1.Budde I(1), Litschko C(1), Führing JI(2), Gerardy-Schahn R(2), Schubert M(3), Strasse 1, 625 Hannover, Germany; Fraunhofer International Consortium for Anti-Infective Research (iCAIR), 625 Hannover, Germany.<br /><br />Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) is the etiological agent of acute porcine pneumonia and responsible for severe economic losses worldwide. The capsule polymer of App serotype 1 (App1) consists of [4)-GlcNAc-β(1,6)-Gal-α-1-(PO4-] repeating units that are O-acetylated at O-6 of the GlcNAc. It is a major virulence factor and was used in previous studies in the successful generation of an experimental glycoconjugate vaccine. However, [https://www.instructables.com/member/cornetbeggar4/ Oligosaccharides] of glycoconjugate vaccines in the animal health sector is limited, presumably because of the high costs associated with harvesting the polymer from pathogen culture. Consequently, here we exploited the capsule polymerase Cps1B of App1 as an in vitro synthesis tool and an alternative for capsule polymer provision. Cps1B consists of two catalytic domains, as well as a domain rich in tetratricopeptide repeats (TPRs). We compared the elongation mechanism of Cps1B with that of a ΔTPR truncation (Cps1B-ΔTPR).<br /><br /> Interestingly, the product profiles displayed by Cps1B suggested processive elongation of the nascent polymer, whereas Cps1B-ΔTPR appeared to work in a more distributive manner. The dispersity of the synthesized products could be reduced by generating single-action transferases and immobilizing them on individual columns, separating the two catalytic activities. Furthermore, we identified the O-acetyltransferase Cps1D of App1 and used it to modify the polymers produced by Cps1B.

In conclusion, we have established a protocol for the pathogen-free in vitro synthesis of tailored, nature-identical App1 capsule polymers.Conflict of interest statement C. L.<br /><br />, T. F., and R. G.-S. have submitted patent applications in the field of vaccine developmentDeterminant specificities of the groups B and C polysaccharides of Neisseria A meningococcal group B-specific horse antiserum contains at least two distinct populations of antibodies with specificities for determinants on the group B capsular polysaccharide antigen. These two populations were differentiated on the basis of the ability of only one of them to be absorbed from the antiserum by the structurally related colominic acid.<br /><br /> [https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/show_user.php?userid=841952 Seebio 2'-fucosyllactose] of the colominic acid-specific determinant was elucidated by a radioimmunoassay inhibition technique with the use of a series of linear alpha-(2----8)-linked oligomers of sialic acid as inhibitors. Colominic acid was labeled by prior removal of its N-acetyl groups, followed by their replacement with the use of [3H]acetic anhydride. The conformational nature of the determinant was proposed because of the unusually large size ( sialic acid residues) of the oligomer required to function as an efficient inhibitor. The structure of the determinant responsible for the second population of group B-specific antibodies has not been determined, but it is obviously based on an as yet undefined conformational or structural feature peculiar to the group B meningococcal polysaccharide. In contrast to the colominic acid-specific group B determinant, the determinant responsible for the group C polysaccharide-specific rabbit antibodies proved to be more conventional.
