Abstract excerpt
Evidence for the existence of two phenotypes of piglets born to experimental herds was obtained based on the susceptibility of intestinal brush borders to adhesion of K99-positive Escherichia coli. The enterocytes of the K99-receptive piglets displayed a characteristic sialoglycolipid pattern, with a higher content of the monosialoglycolipids II3NeuGc-LacCer (GM3Gc), IV3NeuGc-nLcOse4Cer (SPGGc) and...
