The structure and serologic distribution of an extracellular neutral polysaccharide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa immunotype 3
Abstract
Previous work has described small molecular weight neutral polysaccharides from isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that appear to be associated with the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and distributed across serologic barriers defined by antibody to the O side chain. We have isolated and characterized another of these structures obtained from culture supernatants of an immunotype 3 strain of P. aeruginosa. The isolated neutral polysaccharide has a tetrasaccharide repeat unit: (formula; see text) where Rha is rhamnose. The structure was determined by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy including nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments, acid hydrolysis, methylation analysis, Smith degradation, and optical rotation determinations. Polyclonal antibodies raised to intact and alkali-treated (0.1 N NaOH, 56 degrees C, 2 h) LPS from the seven Fisher immunotype strains of P. aeruginosa bound well to the neutral polysaccharide. Antibodies affinity purified from these sera using immobilized neutral polysaccharide as well as a neutral polysaccharide-specific monoclonal antibody, E87, reacted with an antigenically similar structure found among many isolates of different LPS serotypes in a colony blot and with LPS from the seven Fisher immunotypes in an immunoblot. In an immunoblot assay, the neutral polysaccharide inhibited binding of the monoclonal antibody, E87, to material present in LPS preparations from a variety of serotypes. This structure may represent another P. aeruginosa neutral polysaccharide variant found associated with the LPS.
