Abstract excerpt
We evaluated intestinal epithelial membrane preparations from five phenotypes of pigs, distinguished by the variant of K88 fimbrial adhesin (K88ab, K88ac, K88ad) which bind to their intestinal epithelial cells (A-all three variants, B-K88ab and K88ac, C-K88ab and K88ad, D-K88ad, and E-none of the...
