Rabbits and mice immunised with chemically extracted O-antigens (O-Ags) of Vibrio cholerae O139 (O-AgB and O-AgD) developed antibodies (Abs) which appeared to be highly speci®c in ELISA for the relevant antigens and V. cholerae O139 strains without absorption, in contrast to the Abs against the heated O-Ag (O-AgH). An ELISA test based on the use of these Abs was shown to detect V. cholerae O139 strains down to concentrations of (9.4 3 10 4 )±(7.5 3 10 5 ) vibrios=ml and demonstrated no cross-reaction with other vibrios including representatives of serogroup O22. Native and proteinase Ktreated O-AgB, O-AgD, O-AgH, as well as whole-cell lysates of V. cholerae O139 strains of different origin were used in immunoblotting with these Abs. Clear differences in the patterns of zones of speci®c reaction between chemically extracted and heated O-Ags and between lipopolysaccharide pro®les of the V. cholerae O139 strains of different origin were observed. Serogroup-speci®c protein bands in the native O-AgB and O-AgD preparations were de®ned. The approach described for obtaining serogroup-speci®c Abs against vibrios and other bacteria seems to be promising for the development of speci®c diagnostic tests and further investigation of bacterial antigenic structure.

The O-antigenic polysaccharide part of the lipopolysaccharide from Vibrio mimicus N-1990 has been investigated. Sugar and methylation analysis of native and dephosphorylated polysaccharide together with NMR spectroscopy show that the polysaccharide is composed of tetrasaccharide repeating units. The structure of the repeating unit of the polysaccharide from V. mimicus N-1990 could be determined as :The V. mimicus N-1990 strain cross-reacts with antibodies elicited against the Vibrio cholerae O139. The nature of this cross-reactivity resides in the partial structure comprising the galactosyl residue substituted with a cyclic phosphate. This element is present in the cell-wall-associated polysaccharides of both strains.Keywords : Vibrio mimicus ; polysaccharide ; structure ; cyclic phosphate ; NMR.Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal emerged as a second aetiologic MATERIALS AND METHODS agent of epidemic cholera in the Indian subcontinent in 1992General methods.
