is an encapsulated bacterium causing severe diseases in swine. Here, we compared the protective properties of the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of different serotypes by using serotype-switched mutants in a mouse model of infection. CPS structure influenced bacterial survival in mice, antibody binding, and antibody-mediated bacterial killing. The CPS of serotypes 3, 4 and 14 allowed more antibody binding and bacterial elimination than the CPS of serotypes 2, 7 and 9. Results suggest that the different CPS structures of provide varying levels of protection by influencing antigen availability and elimination by the host immune system.
是一种囊封的细菌,可导致猪的严重疾病。在这里,我们通过在感染小鼠模型中使用血清型转换突变体,比较了不同血清型的荚膜多糖(CPS)的保护特性。CPS 结构影响细菌在小鼠中的存活、抗体结合和抗体介导的细菌杀伤。血清型 3、4 和 14 的 CPS 比血清型 2、7 和 9 的 CPS 允许更多的抗体结合和细菌消除。结果表明,通过影响宿主免疫系统的抗原可用性和消除,提供了不同水平的保护。
