Abstract
On the basis of [3H]thymidine incorporation by normal mouse spleen cell cultures, cell wall preparations from a smooth (45/0) strain and a rough (45/20) strain of Brucella abortus were strongly mitogenic. On the other hand, none of several subcomponents extracted from the cell wall preparations, including aqueous and phenolic lipopolysaccharides, was active. These results contrast with the marked mitogenic activity of lipopolysaccharides isolated from other gram-negative bacteria such as Salmonella typhimurium.Entities:
