Inhibition of Adhesion of Escherichia coli K88ac Fimbria to Its Receptor, Intestinal Mucin-Type Glycoproteins, by a Monoclonal Antibody Directed against a Variable Domain of the Fimbria

Strains of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli that express K88 fimbriae are among the most common causes of diarrhea in young pigs. Adhesion of bacteria to receptors on intestinal epithelial cells, mediated by K88 fimbriae, is the initial step in the establishment of infection. Three antigenic variant...
