Role of cell surface antigens of Vibrio cholerae 01 and non 01 serovars in intestinal adhesion
Abstract
Decrease in adherence of Vibrio cholerae to rabbit small intestine was observed following treatment with antisera against outer membrane (OM), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and flagella. Anti LPS antibodies were more efficient than the other two antibodies in inducing adherence inhibition and promoting in vivo protection.
