The disaccharide L-glycero-D-manno-heptosyl-D-glucose was isolated from the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Escherichia coli K-12 strain W3100 after partial hydrolysis with acid, and the structure was determined by methylation analysis, n.m.r. spectroscopy, and comparison with a synthetic standard. In addition, the oligosaccharides L,D-Hep-D-Glc-D-Glc and L,D-Hep-D-Glc-D-Glc-D-Glc were isolated, and their structures were established by g.l.c.-m.s. and methylation analysis. The results indicated that L-glycero-D-manno-heptose, a characteristic constituent of the inner core region, may also occur in the outer core region which, in E. coli, is generally composed of hexoses. A revised structure of the carbohydrate backbone of the hexose/heptose region of the LPS is given.

Adherent enteropathogenic Escherichia coli 0119 strains had a larger lipopolysaccharide core than non-adherent strains, although the O-chains were identical. The core from the non-adherent strain 19392 contained five hexose residues in the outer region, with three L-glycero-D-manno-heptose residues and 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (KDO) in the inner region. The core of adherent strain JCP88 had an atypical structure consisting of six hexose residues, KDO, and equimolar amounts of L-glycero-D-manno-heptose and D-glycero-D-manno-heptose. The core of a rough JCP88 mutant resembled an incomplete 19392 core.

An O-specific polysaccharide has been isolated on mild acid hydrolysis of lipopolysaccharide from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serovar IIc and shown to consist of abequose, D-mannose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose residues in the ratio 0.8:3:1. From the results of acid hydrolysis, 13C NMR, methylation and periodate oxidation studies the structure of the repeating unit of the O-specific polysaccharide is deduced as follows: (formula; see text)

OM-89, a proteinaceous extract from Escherichia coli with very low endotoxin content, was tested for its capacity to stimulate in vitro cells involved in the immune response. OM-89 induced a marked proliferation of mouse spleen cells; E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at the same concentration as present in OM-89 was totally ineffective. Passage through nylon wool strongly decreased the OM-89-induced effect, suggesting that the responding lymphocytes were of the B lineage. Exposure of bone marrow-derived macrophages to OM-89 promoted glucose oxidation through the hexose monophosphate shunt pathway and the capacity to generate superoxide upon phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulation. These effects were not blocked by polymyxin B, whereas this compound completely prevented induction of similar metabolic activation by E. coli lipopolysaccharide. In addition, OM-89 treatment induced marked PMA-dependent superoxide and hydrogen peroxide release by macrophages from the LPS low responder mouse strain C3H/HeJ. Incubation with recombinant murine interferon-gamma and OM-89, but not with either compound alone, led to functional activation, as shown by the killing of tumor target cells, and by the destruction of the intracellular parasite Leishmania enrietti by macrophages of both LPS-responsive and unresponsive mouse strains. These experiments indicate that OM-89 can stimulate metabolic and functional activities of lymphocytes and macrophages that are important for host defense.

We established hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies against enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) and a substructure of the outer core of different Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharides (LPSs). Anti-ECA antibodies 865 and 898 reacted with ECA in extracts of heated E. coli and with ECA-bound R1 and R4 core-containing LPS preparations, as well as with a purified sample of ECA from Salmonella montevideo. Antibody 865, but not antibody 898, cross-reacted with K5 capsular polysaccharide, suggesting that 4-linked alpha-N-acetylglucosamine is part of an antigenic determinant shared by both K5 polysaccharide and ECA. Anti-LPS antibody 786 recognized an outer core structure common to E. coli K-12, B, R2, and R4 core type LPS, but not to R1 and R3 core type LPS. Its most probable target is the trisaccharide sequence Hexp(1----2)-alpha-D -Glcp(1----3) alpha-D-Glcp----(Hepp) (where Hex is hexose, p is phosphate, Glc is glucose, and Hep is heptose), the first glucose being the immunodominant moiety. These monoclonal antibodies may be used not only for the detection of ECA, K5, and LPS core structures but also for analysis of the molecular forms resolved on polyacrylamide gels (banding patterns) of both ECA and LPS, independently of one another.

A monoclonal antibody, E87, that binds to various serotype strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was produced by a hybridoma cell line prepared by fusion of mouse plasmacytoma P3-X63-Ag8-U1 with spleen cells of mice immunized with P. aeruginosa strain IFO3080 (serotype M). E87 bound to approximately 80% of the tested strains of various serotypes of P. aeruginosa. The antigen recognized with E87 was found in the lipopolysaccharide and was eluted in void volume fractions of Sephadex G50 column chromatography after acetic acid treatment. This antigen was eluted in the fraction containing substances of lower molecular weight than the O side chain by Sephacryl S-300 column chromatography, and this fraction was found to be the peak fraction of hexose. This antigen was not separated from the O side chain by Sephacryl S-300 column chromatography of untreated lipopolysaccharide. Colorimetric analyses and thin-layer chromatography showed that this antigen consisted mainly of rhamnose and ribose (molar ratio, 10:1).

O-Specific polysaccharide composed of L-rhamnose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-mannose was obtained on mild acid degradation of P. aeruginosa X (Meitert classification) lipopolysaccharide. On the basis of non-destructive analis using 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy and Klyne's rule calculation, as well as chemical methods (acid hydrolysis, methylation, Smith degradation), it was established that the polysaccharide is built up of disaccharide repeating units of the following structure: ----4)-alpha-L-Rha-(1----3)-beta-D-ManNAc-(1----.

The smooth lipopolysaccharide produced by Salmonella eimsbuttel, which had the O:6, O:7, and O:14 antigenic factors defined in the Kauffmann-White classification, was shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, composition analysis, methylation, periodate oxidation, deamination, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies to contain a high molecular weight O-chain polysaccharide composed of D-mannose (four parts), D-glucose (one part), and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part). It was a branched polymer of a repeating hexasaccharide unit having the structure (formula; see text).
