Abstract

SUMMARYSerogroup-specific antigen was extracted from a number ofLegionella pneumophilastrains and compared with phenol-water extracted lipopolysaccharide on the basis of gel filtration, chemical analysis, SDS-PAGE and reaction with serogroup-specific antibody in immunoblots. Serogroup specificity is apparently borne by the O side-chains of the lipopolysaccharide, which, although smooth in type, partitions in the phenol phase. For four serogroup 1 strains tested, there was no qualitative correlation between O side-chain length and pulmonary virulence for guinea-pigs.
