AI Article Synopsis
- The antigenic structure of L-forms of Salmonella (S. typhimurium and S. typhi) was analyzed using the immunoferritin method.
- L-forms retained a small amount of O-antigen and some K-antigen, but less than the original bacterial strains.
- Upon reverting from L-forms, both types of salmonellae completely restored the quantity and quality of O- and K-antigens.
Article Abstract
The antigenic structure of the L-forms of salmonellae (S. typhimurium and S. typhi) in comparison with that of the initial bacterial cultures and revertant cultures was studied with the use of the immunoferritin method. The L-forms of salmonellae were found to retain an insignificant amount of O-antigen, as well as to have K-antigen on the surface of the cytoplasmic membrane, but in a lesser amount than the initial strains. In the cultures reverting from the L-forms of S. typhimurium and S. typhi the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of O- and K-antigens were completely restored.
