Dextran, the synthetic polysaccharide produced by Leuconostoc mesenterioides from saccharose, reacts immunologically with antisera from pneumococci, some of the Sahnonella and some of the types of Streptococcus viridans (Bargen). This immunological relationship is independent of the specific antipolysaccharide antibodies of these sera, suggesting the existence of a distinct antibody produced by an active group of the specific bacterial polysaccharide, which is similar or identical to the active group of the dextran polysaccharide.
葡聚糖是由肠系膜明串珠菌从蔗糖中合成的多糖,它与来自肺炎球菌、某些沙门氏菌和某些草绿色链球菌(Bargen)的抗血清发生免疫反应。这种免疫关系与这些血清的特异性抗多糖抗体无关,这表明存在一种由特定细菌多糖的活性基团产生的独特抗体,它与葡聚糖多糖的活性基团相似或相同。
