| Abstract | The structural modifications and immunochemical activities of several Streptococcus pneumoniae type 19A polysaccharide (PS) preparations have been studied by sugar compositional analysis and immunodiffusion. The 19A PS preparations Lab-A-1 and Lab-A-3 and one PS isolated from 19A strain OB contained fucose (Fuc) and galactose (Gal) in addition to rhamnose (Rha) and glucose (Glc). In contrast, 19A PSs Lab-A-2 and Lab-B contained only Rha and Glc. Despite their different sugar compositions, these 19A preparations appeared to be identical in serologic activity as measured by immunodiffusion with rabbit 19A and 19F antisera. The 19A PS Lab-A-1 was separated into three fractions by DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography with a NaCl gradient. Fraction II was the major peak with a yield of 72.9%. Fraction Ia contained Fuc and Gal, while fraction II contained Fuc, Gal, Rha, and Glc. Fractions Ia and Ib did not react with rabbit 19A antiserum. In contrast, 19A PS Lab-A-2 displayed only one peak, which was eluted by a NaCl gradient (0 to 0.6 M NaCl), and contained only Rha and Glc. The 19A PSs prepared from Lab-A and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) strains and grown in pneumococcal inoculum medium (PIM) and modified Holt medium were chromatographed on a DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column, and the separated fractions were examined for their sugar composition. The fractions obtained from the 19A PSs Lab-A-PIM and CDC-PIM exhibited four sugar components, as observed for the PS Lab-A-1, while the separated fractions from the 19A PSs Lab-A-Holt and CDC-Holt displayed two sugar components, a pattern similar to that of PS Lab-A-2. Thus, the sugar compositions of 19A PS appeared to vary according to the type of culture medium used to grow the 19A organisms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
