Abstract
Crossed immunoelectrophoresis has shown that the Escherichia coli polysaccharide K2 antigen exists in two forms, K2ab and K2a. In confirmation of this finding, chemical structural analysis showed that K2ab, in addition to the galactose, glycerol and phosphate groups common to K2ab and K2a, contained 0 acetyl groups. The contrast between the earlier and the present K2 designation is discussed and the superiority of the CIE technique for this type of analysis is underlined.Entities:
