Abstract
The chemical structure of the O16 antigen from the lipopolysaccharide of Escherischia coli strain P4 has been determined. Comparison with th e structures of other O16 antigens and that of the O17 antigen explain s the previously reported cross-reaction of O antigen from the O16 str ain K-12 with anti-O17 antibody [D. Liu and P.R. Reeves, Microbiology, 140 (1994) 49-57]. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
