Antigenic analysis of fimbrial proteins from Moraxella bovis.

Agricultural and Food Research Council Institute for Animal Disease Research, Compton, Newbury, Berkshire, England.

ABSTRACT

Fimbrial proteins were extracted from 15 isolates of Moraxella bovis, and antisera to each of the preparations were raised in rabbits. The antigenic relationships of the fimbriae were investigated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, tandem crossed immunoelectrophoresis, and a slide agglutination test. With all three methods there was a similar pattern of antigenic cross-reactivity among the fimbriae. The 15 isolates, together with 23 additional isolates, could be grouped into seven fimbrial serogroups.
