[determination of sero- and biovariants of foreign and soviet strains of yersinia enterocolitica].the results of the typing of the biochemical and serological variants of yersinia enterocolitica strains from the ussr (10 strains) and other countries (32 strains) are presented. most of these strains, belonging to biovars 1 and 5, could be determined with the use of the antigenic scheme which was proposed by knapp only for biovars 2, 3 and 4. the strains isolated in leningrad and in the far east were found to belong to serovars 6,30; 7,8; 12,25 and 5b according to the scheme proposed by wauter ...1979160171
antigenicity of protein and lipopolysaccharide from yersinia enterocolitica.the rabbits infected intravenously with viable yersinia enterocolitica (y.e.) produced the precipitating antibodies against a protein component as well as lipopolysaccharide of the organism. the production of the precipitins against protein antigen persisted for a long period of time even after the o-agglutinins had disappeared. the rabbits infected orally with the organism produced only the precipitins against protein antigen, and the amount of the antibody was equal to or greater than that of ...1979119613
experimental studies on the serological relationships between yersinia enterocolitica and brucella abortus.yersinia enterocolitica o9 was shown to provoke o, oh and h antibody response in calves. brucella abortus failed to generate yersinia h antibody response and generated brucella o antibodies that cross-reacted with yersinia o and oh antigens. the presence of yersinia h agglutinins along with a higher titre of yersinia oh antibody than brucella o antibody is suggestive of subclinical infection with yersiniosis rather than brucellosis. cross-absorption of sera from calves with established yersinia ...1979120574
