Abstract:Purified lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Pasteurella multocida type 6:B, while toxic at higher doses, was protective at lower dose levels against experimentally-induced pasteurellosis in mice. However, the observed protection was abrogated if such LPS was digested with proteinase K prior to use in immunisation. The O-antigen polysaccharide side-chain (OS) of LPS did not appear to contribute to the observed protection as judged by the fact that immunisation of mice with purified OS or OS-protein conjugates, all of which were non-toxic, failed to confer protection against challenge with homologous virulent organisms. This was despite generation of significant levels of OS-specific antibodies, predominantly either of the IgM or IgG isotypes, in immunised mice.

Résumé

Le lipopolysaccharide purifié (LPS) de Pasteurella multocida type 6:B, toxique à haute dose, est protecteur à faible dose contre la pasteurellose expérimentale de la souris. Cependant, la protection observée est supprimée si le LPS est soumis à l'action de la protéinase K avant immunisation. L'antigène O polysaccharidique du LPS ne semble pas contribuer à la protection observée si l'on en juge par le fait que l'immunisation des souris à l'aide de l'antigène O purifé ou conjugué avec des protéines -- non toxiques -- ne confère pas de protection contre une épreuve virulente homologue. Ceci en dépit de l'apparition de taux significatif d'anticorps anti O principalement soit du type IgM ou IgG chez la souris.
