Immunochemical characterization of a haemagglutinating antigen of Arcobacter spp

Abstract The Arcobacter haemagglutinin has been identified by Western immunoblot to be an immunogenic protein of about 20 kDa. The haemagglutinating activity is sensitive to proteolytic enzyme digestion and heat treatment of 80 °C and above. The Arcobacter haemagglutinin is possibly a lectin-like mo...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract The Arcobacter haemagglutinin has been identified by Western immunoblot to be an immunogenic protein of about 20 kDa. The haemagglutinating activity is sensitive to proteolytic enzyme digestion and heat treatment of 80 °C and above. The Arcobacter haemagglutinin is possibly a lectin-like molecule binding to erythrocytes via a glycan receptor containing d-galactose as part of its structure.
