Abstract
The hemagglutinating factor (hemagglutinin) of Bacteroides gingivalis was prepared from the supernatant of a 5-day diffusate broth culture by ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography with a hydrophobic column of Phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The hemagglutinating activity of the preparation was 53.3 times higher than that of ammonium sulfate precipitate. In electron microphotographs, hemagglutinin appears to have a vesicle or tubelike structure. The hemagglutinating activity of intact cells was completely destroyed by heating at 100 degrees C for 10 min, but the activity of extracted hemagglutinin was heat stable. The activity of hemagglutinin was inhibited by L-arginine and L-lysine and partially inhibited by phospholipase D, but it was not affected by proteolytic enzymes, neuraminidase, hyaluronidase, lipase, phospholipase A and C, or sugars. The B. gingivalis hemagglutinin appeared to be comprised mainly of a 40,000-molecular-weight material. The Fab fragment of immunoglobulin G prepared from rabbit antiserum to whole cells of B. gingivalis and monoclonal antibody against the hemagglutinin bound to the cell surface and inhibited the hemagglutinating activity of both the cells and the purified hemagglutinin.
