Proposed FunctionMoracella lipooligosaccharide is a potential virulence factor
Antigenic NatureGlycoconjugates
Carrier NameTetanus toxoid
Conjugate MethodAdipic acid dihydrazide [ADH] was introduced to the carboxyl group of Kdo moiety of the detoxified lipooligosaccharide [LOS] to form adipic hydrazide (AH)-dLOS derivatives, using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide HCl (EDC) and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimid. dLOS (96 mg) was dissolved in 12 ml of 287 mM ADH (50 mg/ml, molar ratio of ADH to dLOS is 108 to 1 based on an estimated Mrof 3,000 for dLOS). AH-dLOS (45 mg) was dissolved with 4.5 ml of 0.2 M NaCl to make a 10 mg/ml solution of AH-dLOS. For the conjugation reaction, each 20 mg of AH-dLOS solution (2 ml in volume) was mixed with 10 mg of cross-reactive mutant (CRM) of diphtheria toxin (0.44 ml in volume). The initial concentration of AH-dLOS or CRM was 8.20 or 4.10 mg/ml. The molar ratio of AH-dLOS to CRM (Mr 67,000) was 45 to 1. The pH was adjusted to 5.0-5.2 with 0.1 M HCl, followed by addition of 0.05 M EDC. The reaction was maintained at pH 5.0 to 5.2 for 4 h at 4°C, then adjusted to pH 7.0, dialyzed against 0.9% NaCl for 2 to 3 days, centrifuged, and passed through a Sephacryl S-300 column (2.6 by 90 cm) in 0.9% NaCl. Peaks that contained both protein and carbohydrate were pooled and designated as dLOS-TT or dLOS-CRM. Both conjugates were analyzed for their composition of carbohydrate and protein using dLOS and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as standards

Conjugate MethodAdipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) was bound to detoxified lipooligosaccharide [LOS] to form adipic hydrazide (AH)-dLOS derivatives, using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide HCl (EDC) and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS). dLOS (70 mg) was dissolved in 7 ml of 345 mM ADH (molar ratio of ADH to LOS is 100 to 1, based on an estimated Mr of 3,000 for dLOS). Sulfo-NHS was added to a concentration of 8 mM, the pH was adjusted to 4.8, and EDC was added to a concentration of 0.1 M. The reaction mixture was stirred and maintained at pH 4.8 for 3 h. The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 7.0 and passed through the G-50 column as described above. The eluate was assayed for carbohydrate and for ADH. The peaks containing both carbohydrate and AH were pooled, freeze-dried, and designated AH-dLOS. AH-dLOS was measured for its composition, using dLOS and ADH as standards

Conjugate Method240 mg of lipooligosaccharide [LOS] was detoxified by using anhydrous hydrazine, and the dLOS was purified. Then adipic acid dihydrazide was conjugated to the dLOS (96 mg) in 12 ml of a 287 mM adipic acid dihydrazide suspension to form adipic hydrazide (AH)-dLOS derivatives, using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide HCl and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide. The resulting AH-dLOS was finally coupled to Tetanus toxoid [TT]. 10 mg of TT (Mr, 150,000) was reacted with 20 mg of AH-dLOS (10 mg/ml) at a molar ratio of AH-dLOS to TT of 100:1 using 0.05 M 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide HCl. All reaction mixtures were maintained at pH 5.0 to 5.2 for 4 h at 4°C, and the reactions were stopped by adjusting the pH to 7.0. The reaction mixtures were dialyzed against 0.9% NaCl for 2 to 3 days, centrifuged, and passed through a Sephacryl S-300 column (2.6 by 90 cm) in 0.9% NaCl. Peaks that contained both protein and carbohydrate were pooled and designated dLOS-TT, dLOS-CRM-1, and dLOS-CRM-2. The three conjugates were analyzed to determine their carbohydrate and protein contents using dLOS and bovine serum albumin as standards
