Protective immunity induced by outer membrane proteins of Salmonella typhimurium in mice

V Udhayakumar et al. Infect Immun. 1987 Mar.

Abstract

Outer membrane proteins (OMP) extracted from both smooth (C5) and rough (Rb2) strains of Salmonella typhimurium were able to induce protective immunity to salmonellosis. The OMP-induced protection lasted for at least 6 months. The antibody level was estimated by passive hemagglutination. In the C5 OMP-immunized mice, antibodies to both proteins and lipopolysaccharide were detected. On the other hand, in the Rb2 OMP-immunized mice, antiprotein but not antilipopolysaccharide antibodies were detected. Delayed-type hypersensitivity appeared as early as the second week after immunization with OMP and persisted through the fourth week.
