Variable cross-reactivity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide-code-specific monoclonal antibodies and its possible relationship with serotype.

Abstract excerpt

The core region of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was analysed by four LPS-core-specific human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs; FK-2E7, MH-4H7, OM-1D6 and NM-3G8). Reactivity of these mAbs to about 180 P. aeruginosa strains was tested. FK-2E7 bound to strains of Homma serotype E and I at a frequency of about 90%, to strains of serotype M at about 50%, and to strains of serotype A and G at about 30%....
