In DOC-PAGE, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Proteus mirabilis R14/1959 (Rb-type) mutant showed a ladder-like migration pattern indicating the presence of a high molecular weight polysaccharide chain. The isolated polysaccharide, called T-antigen because of similarity with the T1 chain of Salmonella friedenau LPS, contained D-glucose, D-galacturonic acid (D-GalA), and D-GlcNAc in molar ratios 2:1:1 and was structurally different from the O-antigen of the parental S-strain P. mirahilis Sl959 but identical to the O-antigen of another S-strain Proteus penneri 42. The importance of a D-GalA(L-Lys)-containing epitope, most likely present in the core region of LPS, and of GalA present in the T-antigen chain in manifesting the serological specificity of P. mirabilis Rl4/ 1959 were revealed using rabbit polyclonal homologouas nd heterologous R- and O-specific antisera and the appropriate antigens. including synthetic antigens which represent partial structures of various Proteus LPS.
