We have examined the binding of colonization factor antigens, (CFAs) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli to gangliosides and asialo gangliosides by using immuno‐thin layer chromatography. CFA/II and its subcomponents (CS1, CS2 and CS3) as well as the subcomponent CS4 of the CFA/IV complex bound to asialo ganglioside GM1.
