Data on the composition and structure of O-antigens which represent polysaccharide chains of outer membrane lipopolysaccharides of gram-negative bacteria defining cell immunospecificity are reviewed with special reference to some structural features of O-antigens, such as masked regularity and occurrence in one microorganism of lipopolysaccharides with two structurally distinct polysaccharide chains. Antigenic relationships between the microorganisms belonging to different taxonomic groups are discussed.
综述了有关O抗原的组成和结构的数据，O抗原代表革兰氏阴性菌外膜脂多糖的多糖链，决定细胞免疫特异性。特别提及了O抗原的一些结构特征，如隐蔽的规律性以及在一种微生物中存在两条结构不同的多糖链的脂多糖。还讨论了不同分类群微生物之间的抗原关系。
