摘要: The chemical structure of the K4-specific capsular polysaccharide (K4 antigen) Escherichia coli O5:K4:H4 was elucidated by composition, carboxyl reduction periodate oxidation methylation nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy and enzymatic cleavage. consists a backbone with structure----3)-beta-D-glucuronyl-(1,4)-beta-D-N-acetylgalactosaminyl(1- to which beta-fructofuranose is linked at C-3 glucuronic acid. Mild acid hydrolysis liberated fructose converted K4 antigen into has same as chondroitin. defructosylated substrate for hyaluronidase chondroitinase. serological reactivity markedly reduced after defructosylation.
