  • Title: Extracellular antigens of Moraxella bovis.
    Author: Sandhu TS, White FH.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1976 Sep; 37(9):1119-22. PubMed ID: 962217.
    Abstract:
    The extracellular antigens of 2 isolates of Moraxella bovis were isolated by ammonium sulfate precipitation of cell-free culture filtrate, purified by filtration and differentiated by immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoretic techniques. The extracellular filtrate from rough types had 2 specific extracellular antigens in addition to those in the culture filtrate of smooth-type cells of the same isolate. The extracellular antigens produced by smooth-type cells were identical in all isolates of Moraxella bovis. The serotype-specific extracellular antigens of 2 isolates were serologically identical but were different from those of a 3rd isolate. The possibility of serotyping M bovis isolates, on the basis of their extracellular rough-type antigens, was suggested. Although both serotype-specific antigens were destroyed by trypsin treatment, 1 antigen was also heat-labile and partially destroyed by formalin treatment.
