Escherichia coli O14 is one of the few strains of Enterobacteriaceae which in the rabbit engender antibodies in high titers against the common enterobacterial antigen (CA). It is a rough strain that does not possess a specific side chain in its lipopolysaccharide structure (rfa+rfb-). An rfa mutant (rfa-rfb-) was isolated from this parental strain. Chemical analysis revealed the absence of one glucose and of one galactose molecule in the core polysaccharide of the mutant. The incomplete synthesis of the core was accompanied by loss of immunogenicity of CA. In the mutant, in contrast to the wild type, CA was not bound to the core; hence, the core lipopolysaccharide might exert immunosuppressive activity on CA. A protein fraction of normal rabbit serum was shown to destroy the erythrocyte-coating capacity of CA. This fraction also displayed immunosuppressive activity on free CA but not on CA bound to the core polysaccharide.
