Eubacterium saburreum L13 Antigen Containing a Ketohexose as a Main Sugar Constituent

Nils Skaug 1, Tor Hofstad 1
PMCID: PMC347922  PMID: 6822412

Abstract

A periodate-resistant antigen (PS L13) which contained ketohexose and glucose was isolated from the oral microorganism Eubacterium saburreum L13 by trypsin digestion and subsequent gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The ketohexose reacted as fructose would in colorimetric and chromatographic analyses, but not in gas-liquid chromatography. Rabbit antiserum to E. saburreum L13 agglutinated the bacteria and contained precipitins of the immunoglobulin G class specific for PS L13.
