Passive Immunization Against Experimental Pseudomonas Infection: Correlation of Protection to Verder and Evans “O” Serotypes

Bass, Joseph A.

RESUMO

Passive-protection tests were conducted in mice with antisera from rabbits immunized with formalinized or heat-killed cells or with an alcohol-precipitated fraction from the slime layer. Protection was conferred by antisera against the heatstable antigens and correlated well with agglutinin levels. Specificity was found to relate closely to the heat-stable “O” serotypes as defined by Verder and Evans.
