The importance of K antigens from six strains of Escherichia coli for the interaction with polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) was studied. The major factor influencing this interaction was the ability of strains to activate complement by the classical route during opsonisation, this process being reduced for most K-positive strains. Interference of K antigens with the functioning of common pili as adhesions of eukaryotic cells was not observed nor a toxic effect of K antigens on PMNL.
研究了来自六株大肠杆菌的K抗原在与多形核白细胞（PMNL）相互作用中的重要性。影响这种相互作用的主要因素是菌株在调理作用期间通过经典途径激活补体的能力，大多数K阳性菌株的这一过程有所减弱。未观察到K抗原对作为真核细胞黏附物的普通菌毛功能的干扰，也未观察到K抗原对PMNL的毒性作用。
