In this study we compared the specificity for the globoseries of glycolipids of Escherichia coli expressing the O-negative, A-positive (ONAP) adhesin and clones transformed with the pap-like (prs or pap-2) gene cluster. Receptor-active glycolipids were identified by the ability of radiolabeled bacteria to bind to the glycolipids on thin-layer chromatogram plates. The ONAP adhesin and pap-like clones bound with high affinity to the globo-A and Forssman glycolipids. The ONAP strains did not recogn ...[more]
