Escherichia coli Capsules and Pili: Serological, Functional, Protective, and Immunoregulatory Studies with Monoclonal Antibodies

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli serotype O8:KX105 and O8:K"2829" strains isolated from piglets with diarrhea

“…Fl fimbriae, which are characterized by their ability to bind to D-mannosides, are commonly expressed by many E. coli strains (8,31,35). Several studies in which polyclonal antisera or monoclonal antibodies were used have demonstrated an immunological heterogeneity among the Fl fimbriae from E. coli (8,13,31,35,36,41). Jayappa et al (14) have suggested that Fl fimbriae from E. coli strains isolated from humans consisted of at least 12 different serotypes, whereas those isolated from ETEC strains from pigs belonged to only one serotype.…”

The use of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to identify Escherichia coli

“…Likewise, both common and strain-specific determinants have been identified on coli pili (Soderstrom, 1985). with monoclonal antibodies to pili and the K13 capsular antigen (Soderstrom, 1985).…”
