Notes:
The human monoclonal antibody MH-4H7 recognizes the lipopolysaccharide outer core region of some Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains and in particular strongly binds to strains of Lányi serotype 04. In this paper, we report that this monoclonal antibody also reacts with Escherichia coli 026 LPS. However, our results suggest that the previous reported immunological cross reaction between P. aeruginosa 04 and E. coli 026 strains (which was observed by using antisera against heat-stable antigens) is not due to the similarity of the O-polysaccharides.
