A hexasaccharide fragment of the O-polysaccharide of Vibrio cholerae O: 1, serotype Inaba was constructed from mono and disaccharides carrying azido groups. After the azido---~amino group conversion, the requisite N-acylation was achieved using as the reagent 4-O-benzyl-L-glycero-tetronic acid, prep
reader. Experiments were repeated in triplicate. Control experiments to verify unspecific binding were performed by coating the ELISA plates with Colomic Acid from Escherichia coli (Sigma) or Streptococcus pneumoniae (F19) polysaccharide (a generous gift from Sanofi-Aventis).
We investigated the population genetics in collections of meningococci sampled in Cuba during the period 1983-2005, thereby covering a period before and after the introduction of an antimeningococcal B-C vaccine. A total of 163 case isolates and 210 isolates from healthy carriers were characterized
