  • (6) Murine hybridoma antibodies directed against the capsule and O-side chain determinants of the Escherichia coli strain Bort (018ac:K1:H7) were evaluated for their ability to enhance bactericidal activity of cord blood against K1 E. coli strains possessing O antigens common in neonatal E. coli infection, i.e.

Diamond


Definition:
