Abstract excerpt
A toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP), that is important for intestinal colonization of Vibrio cholerae O1, may be produced by vibrios of both classical and EI Tor biotypes. By comparing TCP produced by various strains of the two biotypes in immunoblotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and polyclonal antisera against TCP from classical vibrios, we have found...
