Abstract
The B- and T-cell antigenic sites on type O pili from Pseudomonas aeruginosa were determined by using an antipilus antibody competition assay and PAO-immune T-cell blasts in proliferation studies. The citraconylated tryptic digest III region (residues 54 to 120) was determined to be an immunodominant site for both T and B cells on the pilin molecule.
