โœฆ Synopsis

In our study of the role of K antigens in phagocytosis we compared six E. coli K ยง strains (K1, K2, K23, K(A)28, K(A)?, K(?) with their K-mutants. The induction of the chemiluminescence of PMN's after stimulation with K + and K-strains was enhanced for all K-strains. The kinetics of chemiluminescence production was dependent on the method of opsonization. The differences in opsono-phagocytosis between K ยง and K-strains as measured by chemiluminescence could mostly be explained by the ability of the K -strains to use the classical complement pathway for opsonization. The K antigens did not influence the function of common pili as far as the mannose-sensitive haemagglutination of guinea-pig erythrocytes is concerned.

## Abstract A heterotopic position of a limb allograft is advantageous in the fragile mouse model to reduce mortality but is prone to autotomy. The purpose of this study was to describe a new heterotopic limb transplantation model in the mouse for prolonged allograft survival. Eleven lower hindlimb
