Interferon Production in Mice by Cell Wall Mutants of Salmonella typhimurium

Julius S Youngner 1, David S Feingold 1
PMCID: PMC375405  PMID: 4316250

Abstract

The interferon response elicited by Salmonella typhimurium mutants in mice is not dependent on the presence of a complete cell wall lipopolysaccharide. In fact, a mutant (G30/C21) which has lost all the polysaccharide side chains and sugars of the O antigen and contains only 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate and lipid is indistinguishable in its interferon-stimulating ability from the wild type which possesses a complete O antigen with polysaccharide side chains.
