  • Title: [Humoral response to selected antigens of Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in the course of yersiniosis in humans. IV. Specificity of antigens].
    Author: Rastawicki W.
    Journal: Med Dosw Mikrobiol; 2008; 60(1):27-37. PubMed ID: 18634341.
    Abstract:
    The specificity of the lipopolisacharydes and released proteins (Yop) of Yersinia was tested using the sera of rabbits immunised with pathogenic and non-pathogenic strain of Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis as well as selected sera of patients. The results of this study showed a cross-reactions between the different serotypes of Y. enterocolitica with the strongest reactions between the pathogenic serotypes O:3 and O:9 and pathogenic serotype O:5,27 and non-pathogenic serotype O:5. Sera positive for B. burgdorferi and from patients with Graves' disease showed a slight cross-reactivity with Yop proteins of Yersinia. However, the higher cross-reactivity was observed between the LPS of Yersinia and Salmonella spp. Due to the evidence of cross-reactivity the results of serological investigations should be interpreted with caution.
