Cross-Reactions of Plant Polysaccharides in Antipneumococcal and Other Antisera, an Update

  • Conference paper
Fortschritte der Chemie organischer Naturstoffe / Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products

Abstract

Since the author’s original publication in this series (1) study of the precipitation of plant polysaccharides by immune sera has continued as part of wider investigations (2–6). Relationships between chemical structure and immunological specificity were found, so that predictions could be made of certain structures. These were later verified. In the present paper the earlier work on polysaccharides of plants is updated and additional data, accumulated over the years, are recorded.

From: Papers Dedicated to Professor Johannes Moustgaard on the Occasion of his Seventieth Birthday the 26th of September 1981. E. Brummerstedt, Ed., The Royal Danish Agricultural Society, Copenhagen, 1981.
