Researchers from Semmelweis University Publish Findings in Lipopolysaccharides

2012 JAN 6 -- Investigators publish new data in the report "Interaction of concanavalin a with bacterial lipopolysaccharides in agarose gel." According to the authors of recent research published in the journal Acta Microbiologica Et Immunologica Hungarica, "Binding of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled concanavalin A to a series of molecular species of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), purified from pathogenic bacteria, was studied via agarose gel precipitation experiments and the results were compared with available structural data.The LPS species could be divided into ConA-reactive and non-reactive ones. Reactivity resided in the O-specific chain of LPS, and binding to the...
