| Abstract: | Abstract Covalent glycoconjugates containing, as a ligand lipopolysaccharide core, oligosaccharides of Hafnia alvei standard strain ATCC 13337 and R mutant 1 M were used to produce anti- H. alvei core antibodies. The sera obtained were tested in rocket immunoelectrophoresis, immunoblotting and ELISA using H. alvei lipopolysaccharides of various strains. The experiments were carried out to study the antigenic relationships between lipopolysaccharide core regions in the H. alvei genus. |
