Chemo-Immunological Studies on Conjugated Carbohydrate-Proteins: VIII. The Influence of the Acetyl Group on the Specificity of Hexoside-Protein Antigens
- Title:
- Chemo-Immunological Studies on Conjugated Carbohydrate-Proteins: VIII. The Influence of the Acetyl Group on the Specificity of Hexoside-Protein Antigens
- Creator:
- Avery, Oswald Theodore, 1877-1955
Babers, Frank H.
Goebel, Walther Friedrich, 1899-1993 - Date:
- July 1934
- Description:
- The eighth of a long series of studies on efforts by Avery's lab to chemically couple the type-II and type-III pneumonia polysaccharides to protein. Although Avery oversaw most of these experiments, their principle investigator was Goebel, who in 1939, independently demonstrated that the specificity of the type-III polysaccharide is inherent in the structure of the disaccharide, glucose-glucuronic acid. When the disaccharide was coupled with the protein, it yielded a synthetic antigen that induced the formation of antibodies reactive with the intact polysaccharide. These antibodies could protect laboratory animals against type-III infection.
