The smooth lipopolysaccharide produced by Salmonella eimsbuttel, which had the O:6, O:7, and O:14 antigenic factors defined in the Kauffmann–White classification, was shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, composition analysis, methylation, periodate oxidation, deamination, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies to contain a high molecular weight O-chain polysaccharide composed of D-mannose (four parts), D-glucose (one part), and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part). It was a branched polymer of a repeating hexasaccharide unit having the structure[Formula: see text]

The phenol phase soluble lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas maltophilia strain 555, obtained from cells by the hot aqueous phenol method, was of the smooth type. Sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, hydrolysis, methylation, and 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analyses showed that this lipopolysaccharide has an O-chain polysaccharide composed of a repeating pentasaccharide unit, containing D-rhamnose (D-Rha, one part), 3-acetamido-3,6-dideoxy-D-galactose (D-Fuc3NAc, one part), and 4-acetamido-4,6-dideoxy-D-mannose (D-Rha4NAc, three parts) and having the structure[Formula: see text]The serological cross-reactions between P. maltophilia 555 and Brucella species can now be related to the occurrence of N-acyl derivatives of 4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-mannopyranosyl residues in the O-chains of their respective lipopolysaccharide components.

By phenol-water extraction an aqueous-phase soluble cellular lipopolysaccharide was isolated from Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1. It was shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, hydrolysis, methylation, and both one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies to be an S-type lipopolysaccharide, which could be cleaved to yield a lipid A and an O-chain polysaccharide identified as a high molecular weight branched polymer of a tetrasaccharide repeating unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]

The specific capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 15A (American type 30) is composed of D-galactose (three parts), D-glucose (one part), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part), phosphate (one part), and glycerol (one part). Hydrolysis, periodate oxidation, methylation, optical rotation, and nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that the polysaccharide is a high molecular weight linear polymer of a pentasaccharide repeating unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]

The phenol-phase soluble cellular lipopolysaccharide that was isolated by the phenol–water extraction from Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 was shown to be of the S type by sodium dodecyl sulfate – polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, hydrolysis, methylation, specific degradations, and both one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies. It could be cleaved to yield a lipid A and an O-chain polysaccharide. This O-polysaccharide was identified as a high molecular weight unbranched linear polymer of a pentasaccharide repeating unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]

The capsular polysaccharide of Haemophilus pleuropneumoniae serotype 3 (ATCC 27090) is composed of D-galactose (one part), 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part), glycerol (one part), and phosphate (one part). From hydrolysis, dephosphorylation, methylation, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies, the polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular weight polymer of a repeating trisaccharide unit, joined through monophosphate diester linkages and having the following structure:[Formula: see text]

The lipopolysaccharide produced by Salmonella livingstone (O:6,7) was composed of an antigenic O-polysaccharide which was shown by composition, methylation analysis and high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance studies to be a high molecular weight polymer containing D-glucose, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose and D-mannose residues (1:1:4) composed in a repeating hexasaccharide unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]Key words: Salmonella livingstone, lipopolysaccharide, O-polysaccharide.

Cell-wall lipopolysaccharide isolated from Pasteurella haemolytica serotype T3 using the phenol–water extraction procedure was shown to be an S type lipopolysaccharide by sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Hydrolysis with mild acid afforded a lipid-free, antigenic O-chain polysaccharide. On the basis of one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies, in conjunction with microanalytical chemical methods, the O-polysaccharide was determined to be a linear polymer of a disaccharide repeating unit having the structure[Formula: see text]

The specific capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 33F (American type 70) is composed of D-galactose (5 parts), D-glucose (1 part), and O-acetyl (ca. 0.4 parts). Periodate oxidation, partial hydrolysis, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that the polysaccharide is a high molecular weight polymer of a repeating hexasaccharide unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]

SummaryCongenitally abnormal fibrinogen Osaka III with the replacement of γ Arg-275 by His was found in a 38-year-old female with no bleeding or thrombotic tendency. Release of fibrinopeptide(s) by thrombin or reptilase was normal, but her thrombin or reptilase time in the absence of calcium was markedly prolonged and the polymerization of preformed fibrin monomer which was prepared by the treatment of fibrinogen with thrombin or reptilase was also markedly defective. Propositus' fibrinogen had normal crosslinking abilities of α- and γ-chains. Analysis of fibrinogen chains on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in the system of Laemmli only revealed the presence of abnormal γ-chain with an apparently higher molecular weight, the presence of which was more clearly detected with SDS-PAGE of fibrin monomer obtained by thrombin treatment. Purified fragment D1 of fibrinogen Osaka III also seemed to contain an apparently higher molecular weight fragment D1 γ remnant on Laemmli gels, which was digested faster than the normal control by plasmin in the presence of [ethy-lenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid (EGTA).
