Pathogenesis of rinderpest virus infection in rabbits. II. Effect of rinderpest virus on the immune functions of rabbits.

abstract：:Serotype b-specific polysaccharide antigen (SPA) of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans Y4 consists of D-fucose and L-rhamnose. To clarify the role of SPA in phagocytosis of the organism by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs), monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against SPA and SPA-defective mutants, which were constr...
