Preparation of an artificial antigen and immunity to mouse typhoid
Abstract
A galactan isolated from gum arabic has been shown following O-acetylation to protect mice against Salmonella typhimurium infections. Data presented suggest that O-acetylated galactan induces in mice the formation of antibodies which cross-react with antigen 5 of S. typhimurium.
