Antigens bacterial, immunology

It was established that Ab to Klebsiella pneumoniae didn t demonstrate the cross-reactivity to antigens of the relative bacterial species so, it could be considered that antibodies investigated was highly specific only to the own antigen. The physical-chemical characteristics of the immunological interaction such as constants of formation of Ag-Ab complex were obtained. The binding constants of immune complex were Ka =(9.7 l.l)-10 and Ka,=(1.7+0.3)T0 (mg/ml)f...

A second biological function of the carbohydrates relates to immunological responses to these moieties.145 Glycans on bacterial cell-surfaces are important antigens, and valuable information on the structures of these glycans can be obtained by immunological techniques.146 Glycoproteins are often present on the surface of cell mem-... 

Freund s adjuvant) used with an antigen to improve the immune response (antibody formation secondary to B-cell activation). Incomplete Freund s adjuvant does not contain the bacterial cells and is used to avoid an inflammatory response. See White, R.G., Factor affecting the antibody response, Br. Med.
