Antigenic similarity of heat-labile enterotoxins from diverse strains of Escherichia coli

R B Sack et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1977 Jun.

Abstract

With use of the rabbit intestinal loop model, heat-labile enterotoxins from 21 Escherichia coli strains isolated from a wide spectrum of patients with diarrheal diseases were all neutralized to high titer by two antisera prepared against enterotoxins of either E. coli or Vibrio cholerae. These findings suggest marked immunological similarity among heat-labile enterotoxins from a heterogenous group of E. coli.
