  • Title: Antigenic property of pediocin AcH produced by Pediococcus acidilactici H.
    Author: Bhunia AK, Johnson MC, Ray B, Belden EL.
    Journal: J Appl Bacteriol; 1990 Aug; 69(2):211-5. PubMed ID: 2272942.
    Abstract:
    Pediocin AcH, a bacteriocin of Pediococcus acidilactici H, inhibits the growth of several food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria. The antigenic property of partially purified pediocin AcH was tested by immunizing mice and a rabbit. Pediocin AcH was not immunogenic in these animals as determined by immunoblotting even after conjugation to bovine serum albumin. The non-immunogenic nature of pediocin AcH, its non-toxicity to laboratory animals and its hydrolysis by gastric proteolytic enzymes may be considered favourably in its possible use as a food preservative.
