Two mechanisms of inhibition of human lymphocyte proliferation by soluble yeast mannan polysaccharide.

abstract：:The adherence mechanism of Aeromonas caviae Sch3N to HEp-2 cells was initially investigated through four mini-Tn5 mutants that showed a 10-fold decrease in adherence. These mutants lost motility, flagella, and their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) O antigen (O-Ag). Three genes, flmB-neuA-flmD, were found to be interrupted by...
