Abstract
Passive protection of specific pathogen-free lambs against experimental pasteurellosis was achieved using antisera from conventionally reared sheep which were either convalescent from experimental pneumonia or inoculated with Pasteurella haemolytica A2 vaccines. The complete immune sera, or immunoglobulin-rich fractions prepared from them, when administered separately or together provided 94-100% protection of recipients compared to control lambs. Antibodies to P. haemolytica in donor sera were quantified by anti-sodium salicylate extract (SSE) and anti-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) ELISA, bactericidal assay, cytotoxin neutralization and indirect haemagglutination. The anti-SSE ELISA titres correlated best with protective efficacy and could be used to measure antibody in recipient lambs immediately before challenge. The degree of protection was unaffected by prior infection with parainfluenza virus Type 3, suggesting that such exposure did not enhance exudation of circulating immunoglobulin into the respiratory tract. It was concluded that systemic humoral immunity alone can prevent pasteurellosis.

Abstract
The effects of prolonged plasmapheresis of cattle on total and antigen-specific immunoglobulin production were evaluated. Five adult cows were hyperimmunized by repeated IV administration of live, logarithmic-phase Pasteurella haemolytica A1 organisms. Three of the cows underwent plasmapheresis daily for 3 weeks. From 2 cows, serum was only obtained periodically. Anti-P haemolytica antibody was assayed by indirect hemagglutination and a kinetic-augmented, antigen-capture ELISA for capsular polysaccharide and lipopolysaccharide/outer membrane protein antigens. Total serum immunoglobulin concentration was determined for IgM, IgG1, and IgG2 by primary radial immunodiffusion. Anti-P haemolytica A1 activity increased rapidly after immunization. After beginning plasmapheresis, the antigen-specific antibody activities remained nearly constant. In general, antilipopolysaccharide/outer membrane protein activity (in terms of concentration) was higher than anti-capsular polysaccharide activity and was not affected as much by the plasmapheresis. Total serum Ig concentration decreased transiently by a small amount after beginning plasmapheresis.

Abstract
A live, streptomycin dependent, Pasteurella multocida (SDPM) serotype A:12 vaccine was evaluated for preventing pasteurellosis in two commercial rabbitries. Rabbits were inoculated intranasally at 5 weeks old with either 0.25 ml of vaccine containing 10(8) colony forming units/ml or 0.25 ml of diluent (control). A proportion of rabbits received a second intranasal inoculation 1 month later. Partial protection against P. multocida infection was observed 1 and 2 months after inoculation in rabbits given only one dose of vaccine. The incidence of clinical signs of pasteurellosis was similar in vaccinated and nonvaccinated market-age rabbits inoculated 4 to 6 weeks previously. In does maintained in the breeding colony, P. multocida infection and upper respiratory disease occurred more frequently in vaccinated than nonvaccinated rabbits. Humoral antibody responses (IgA, IgM, IgG) followed longitudinally were similar in vaccinated and nonvaccinated does. Hence, the SDPM vaccine was not efficacious in controlling P. multocida infection at these two rabbitries.

Abstract
Affinity-purified bovine immunoglobulin isotypes were bacteriolytic for Pasteurella haemolytica biotype A, serotype 1 (PHA-1). This bacteriolysis was specific and complement-dependent. The IgM and IgG1 were the most active isotypes in the classic complement cascade. These isotypes also induced bacteriolysis through the alternative complement cascade. The comparative bacteriolytic activities of IgG1 and IgM were equal within each cascade; however, the bacteriolytic activities of IgG1 and IgM were lower in the alternative cascade than in the classical cascade. The IgG2 was more bacteriolytic than IgA in the classic and alternative complement pathways. Bovine immunoglobulins passively protected C57BL/6 mice from experimentally induced pasteurellosis. There were no major differences in the protection among hyperimmune sera, purified IgM, or purified IgG. Mice were protected from PHA-1 by approximately 1.9 micrograms of IgG and 1.2 or 0.1 micrograms of IgM. Elimination of murine complement with cobra venom factor 3 reduced PHA-1 clearance in passively immunized C57BL/6 mice. The protective effect of IgM mediated resistance was highly dependent on an intact complement system. The intact complement cascade was associated with enhanced clearance of PHA-1 from the liver. Although PHA-1 was susceptible to antibody complement-mediated bacteriolysis in vitro, the dependence on an intact complement cascade was not absolute in experimentally induced murine septicemic pasteurellosis.

Abstract
Five trials with steers new to the feedlot environment were conducted to determine the effects of one or two i.m. injections of selenium (Se) and(or) vitamin E (Vit E) on performance, health status and serum antibody response to Pasteurella haemolytica vaccination. In all trials, performance and average number of days sick per steer were not affected (P greater than .05) by single injection of Se and(or) Vit E. In Trial 1, 26 steers (avg initial wt 267 kg) were treated with 1) no Se or Vit E or 2) 25 mg Se (as Na2SeO3) plus 340 IU Vit E (as [d]-alpha-tocopheryl acetate). P. haemolytica serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) titers on d 7 and 14 were greater (P less than .05) for steers receiving 25 mg Se plus 340 IU Vit E. In Trial 2, 141 steers (avg initial wt 204 kg) were treated with 1) no Se or Vit E, 2) 25 mg Se, 3) 340 IU Vit E or 4) 25 mg Se plus 340 IU Vit E. Serum IgG titers were greater (P less than .05) only for Treatment 4 on d 6. Trial 3 was conducted using 107 steers and the same treatments as in Trial 2. By d 14, titers for treatment 4 were greater (P less than .05) than those for Treatments 1 or 3, but not greater than those for Treatment 2. In Trial 4, serum IgG titers were unaffected (P greater than .05) when 48 steers (avg initial wt 248 kg) were treated with 1) no Se or Vit E, 2) 25 mg Se plus 340 IU Vit E 14 d prior to shipping or 3) 25 mg Se plus 340 IU Vit E 14 d prior to shipping, plus repeat injection on day of arrival at the feedlot. In Trial 5, 107 steers were treated with 1) no Se or Vit E, 2) 25 mg Se plus 340 IU Vit E or 3) 50 mg Se plus 680 IU Vit E. Serum IgG titers increased linearly (P less than .01) due to treatment on d 7, 13 and 20 and a quadratic response (P less than .05) was observed on d 27. In these trials, serum antibody response to P. haemolytica vaccination was enhanced with the combination of Se and Vit E; however, performance and health status were not affected.

Abstract
The mechanism of resistance of Capsular Type D strains of Pasteurella multocida to killing by rabbit polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) was studied using an in vitro assay that differentiates intra- from extracellular bacteria. Two Capsular Type D strains (3761 and 3766), resistant to killing by rabbit PMN, and one Type A strain (R1), susceptible to PMN destruction, were compared. After combining opsonized bacteria and PMN, the Capsular Type D Strains 3761 and 3766 remained extracellular while the Capsular Type A Strain R1 was internalized by PMN. Thus, both Type D strains were resistant to phagocytosis by rabbit PMN.

Abstract
Pasteurella multocida harvested from the blood of turkeys dying of experimental fowl cholera were purified by centrifugation and lysed. The soluble and membrane-associated components of the bacteria were separated by centrifugation. Nonionic (octylglucoside) and zwitterionic (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate; CHAPS) detergents were tested for their abilities to solubilize the cross-protection factor(s) (CPF) from the membrane-associated component. Protection studies in turkeys showed that optimum solubilization was by 1.0% octylglucoside and 0.5% CHAPS. Antibodies from turkeys made against solubilized membrane-associated CPF passively cross-protected poults against challenge. Ion exchange chromatography of detergent-solubilized CPF resulted in elution of two protein-containing peaks, each of which conferred active immune protection.

Abstract
Vaccination of turkeys by administering Pasteurella multocida mutant PM#1 or PM#3, either by the oculo-nasal-oral method or in the drinking water, induced a level of protection comparable to vaccination with the Clemson University (CU) strain or the M-9 vaccine. The level of protection was not altered when PM#1, PM#3, or the CU strain was grown in brain-heart infusion (BHI) broth or BHI agar. Under extremely severe challenges, the CU strain provided a greater level of protection than PM#1, PM#3, or the M-9 vaccine. It also was apparent from this study that the less-virulent mutant organisms and the M-9 vaccine require a higher concentration of organism per vaccine dose than the CU strain to provide similar protection.

Abstract
Mutagenesis of the Clemson University (CU) vaccine strain of Pasteurella multocida with N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine resulted in temperature-sensitive mutants that grew at 37 C but not at 42 C. Seven such mutants were evaluated for immunogenicity in turkeys. From these seven, only two, PM#1 and PM#3, provided turkeys with a level of protection against challenge with a virulent serotype 3 P. multocida strain (P-1059) comparable to the protection provided by the CU strain. Intravenous (IV) inoculation of PM#1, PM#3, or CU was used to assess differences in virulence. PM#1 and PM#3 resulted in lower rates of mortality and lameness than the CU strain. Histopathological evaluation of spleens 24, 48, and 72 hours after IV inoculation demonstrated that the CU strain induced significantly more fibrinoid necrosis of the spleen than either PM#1 or PM#3.

Abstract
Serum samples obtained from feeder calves before and after entry into the market system (days 0 to 7) were assayed for antibodies to Pasteurella hamolytica biotype A, serotype 1 capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and lipopolysaccharide/outer membrane protein (LPSp) by isotype in a kinetic-augmented, antigen-capture ELISA. These test results, plus indirect hemagglutination (IHA) antibody titers, and hemolysin-in-gel test (HIGT) findings were compared with clinical performance data during the initial 4 weeks in the feedlot (receiving period). High concentrations of HIGT antibody, at the point of initial assembly of feeder calves at weaning and during the subsequent 7-day marketing period, were associated with freedom from bovine respiratory disease (BRD) during the receiving period. High or rapidly increasing concentrations of anti-CPS IgG1 during the marketing period were also associated with less BRD. However, high concentrations of anti-LPSp IgG1 during the marketing period were associated with increased BRD during the receiving period. There was no correlation between the concentrations of antibody determined by IHA tests early in the marketing period and freedom from BRD during the receiving period. High concentrations of antibody determined by this test at entry into the feedlot (day 7) were associated with a high incidence of BRD. Calves vaccinated with a P haemolytica bacterin had significantly (P less than 0.05) higher HIGT values and concentrations of anti-LPSp IgG1 and IHA antibody than did nonvaccinated calves on entry into the feedlot (day 7). Vaccination appeared to have little effect on the amount of anti-CPS IgG1. Of all the tests used to quantitate antibody, the HIGT correlated best with clinical performance.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The aqueous-phase lipopolysaccharide isolated from Pasteurella haemolytica serotype T10 cells by the phenol-water extraction method was found to be S-type lipopolysaccharide which possessed O-antigenic polysaccharide chains composed only of D-galactose residues. Structural analysis of the O-polysaccharide, using a combination of 1D and 2D 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. methods, led to the identification of the disaccharide repeating-unit as [----3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)-beta-D-Galf-(1----]n. The serological cross-reactivity between P. haemolytica serotypes T4 and T10 can now be related to the structural similarity of the antigenic LPS O-polysaccharides.

Abstract
Antigens associated with whole Pasteurella haemolytica biotype A serotype 1, a capsular carbohydrate-protein extract of the organism, and P. haemolytica leukotoxin were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Antigens of the electrophoresed preparations were detected by Western blotting (immunoblotting) with sera from cattle which were either nonvaccinated or vaccinated with live or killed P. haemolytica vaccines and had variable degrees of resistance to experimental pneumonic pasteurellosis. Distinct, easily recognizable antigens of these preparations were identified, and the antibody responses to these antigens were quantified by densitometry. To determine their importance to disease resistance, we then compared antibody responses with experimental lesion scores. Antibody reactivity to surface antigens which were significantly correlated with resistance and present in two or more of the preparations were detected at 86, 66, 51, 49, 34, 31, and 16 kilodaltons (kDa). Of these, antibody responses to antigens at 86, 49, and 31 kDa appeared most important based on their concentration and significance levels. Antibody reactivity to leukotoxin antigens which were significantly correlated with resistance and common with important surface antigens were detected at 86, 66, and 49 kDa. Antibody responses to unique leukotoxin antigens which were significantly correlated with resistance were present at 92 and 58 kDa.

Abstract
Live Pasteurella haemolytica biotype A, serotype 1 isolates (n = 3) and Escherichia coli K-12, strain W3110, were reacted with bovine pulmonary lavage cell (PLC) suspensions. The comparative effects of the different bacteria on the functional and metabolic activity of alveolar macrophages (AMO) in the PLC suspensions were assessed simultaneously by use of 51Cr release, luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (LDCL), and AMO bactericidal assays. The bovine PLC responded differently to E coli, than to the 3 P haemolytica isolates in each of the 3 experimental test systems; however, responses to each of the P haemolytica isolates were not found to be significantly different. Unopsonized live P haemolytica cells adversely affected the functional and metabolic response of PLC, whereas there was no evidence of a cytotoxic (cytocidal) influence of E coli. A difference in 51Cr release for reaction mixtures containing E coli and P haemolytica was not detected at zero time; however, at each subsequent time, reaction mixtures phagocytically stimulated with P haemolytica had significantly increased amount of 51Cr release (P less than 0.05), compared with those mixtures containing E coli. Bovine AMO in the PLC suspensions were able to effectively kill E coli in vitro, but were unable to prevent survival and subsequent growth of P haemolytica. The luminol-dependent chemiluminescence profiles for reaction mixtures phagocytically stimulated with E coli provided evidence of sustained production of oxygen radicals with antimicrobial capabilities by bovine AMO in the PLC. Production of these highly reactive antimicrobial oxidants appeared initially in cultures containing P haemolytica but, subsequently, their production declined precipitously and ceased altogether.

Abstract
An in vitro bactericidal assay that used bovine heparinized blood was investigated for its usefulness in detecting differences in the bactericidal immunity of calves against Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 (Ph1). Greater than 90% of killing occurred within 30 minutes. The substitution of fetal calf serum for autologous calf plasma caused loss of bactericidal activity of the blood. Decomplemented calf serum also was low in bactericidal activity. The blood bactericidal assay appears to be opsonin antibody-dependent and complement-dependent. The coefficient of variation (CV) that can be expected with this assay was established by use of a group of 8 calves; within-day CV maximum was 0.9, and between-day CV maximum was 2.1. The blood bactericidal assay was used to evaluate 30 calves under typical market stress from 4 farms in eastern Tennessee. All calves had decreased bactericidal activity, as they moved into a feedyard in Texas. The bactericidal activity was reduced among sick calves, based on the severity of clinical signs. Morbidity was highest during the first 14 days in the feedlot. During this period, healthy calves had a decreased bactericidal index (BI) of 4 points, and calves with clinical signs of bovine respiratory tract disease for 3 days had a decreased BI of 8 points. The average reduction in the BI of calves with clinical signs of bovine respiratory tract disease for 6 or more days was 14 points.

Abstract
Three vaccines containing Pasteurella haemolytica serotype A2 antigens were tested for their ability to protect sheep against a homologous challenge. A crude cytotoxin preparation in combination with a sodium salicylate extract (SSE) or crude cytotoxin alone were highly protective (98 and 86%, respectively), whereas SSE alone was poorly (47%) protective. These findings indicated that the crude cytotoxin was an essential component of a protective vaccine. Protection correlated with serum cytotoxin-neutralising (CN) titres and bactericidal activity, which were stimulated by antigens in the crude cytotoxin preparation.

Abstract
The trial involved eight large white sows obtained from a closed experimental specific pathogen free herd. Four sows (two each for an experimental vaccine and for Nobi-Vac AR) were vaccinated twice (eight weeks and two weeks before parturition) with 2 ml of vaccine administered intramuscularly. Two unvaccinated sows were used as an infected control group and two unvaccinated sows served as an uninfected control group. Forty-six piglets (28 from vaccinated sows and 18 from unvaccinated sows) were challenged by intranasal instillation of Bordetella bronchiseptica at two days of age and Pasteurella multocida type D, dermonecrotic toxin at seven days of age. Among the infected control group some piglets died and there were clinical signs of pneumonia and severe turbinate atrophy. In the vaccinated groups the results showed that immunisation of the pregnant sows had provided a good level of antibodies, which were transmitted to their offspring. There was a significant reduction in the clinical signs and no lesions were observed in the group vaccinated with the experimental vaccine and only moderate atrophy of the turbinates in the Nobi-Vac AR group. B bronchiseptica and P multocida were never recovered from the lungs of the vaccinated groups and in the nasal cavities their frequency declined with age.

Abstract
Broiler minibreeder hens were vaccinated for protection against fowl cholera at 12 and 21 weeks of age using several vaccination schemes, which included a live Pasteurella multocida (CU strain) vaccine, two commercial polyvalent fowl cholera oil-based bacterins, and two experimentally prepared polyvalent oil-based bacterins. Some treatment groups received only live or killed vaccines, whereas others received a live vaccine at 12 weeks followed by a killed product at 21 weeks. At 42 weeks of age, all birds that received the live CU vaccine twice or once followed by a bacterin survived challenge. Birds that received killed vaccines only were significantly less protected but still showed a respectable survival rate of 86%. All unvaccinated controls died within 72 hr after challenge. At 72 weeks of age, overall protection was lower than that at 42 weeks, regardless of vaccination treatment. Antibody titers were usually higher in birds that received bacterins than in those receiving live vaccines, yet overall protection was still greater in those birds that received the live cholera vaccine twice.

Abstract
The antibody responses to the capsular carbohydrate (CC) purified from Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 were determined by an ELISA, using 135 sera from 6 calves vaccinated with phosphate-buffered saline solution, formalin-killed P haemolytica bacterins, live P haemolytica, or an extract of P haemolytica referred to as carbohydrate-protein subunit (CPS). Calves vaccinated with live P haemolytica, bacterins, or CPS developed serum antibodies to CC. Bacterins containing Freund incomplete adjuvant or Freund complete adjuvant induced higher antibody responses than did bacterins containing aluminum hydroxide. In 4 of 6 experiments, high antibody responses to CC were significantly (P less than 0.05) correlated with resistance to transthoracic challenge exposure with P haemolytica. When calves were challenge exposed with a dose of P haemolytica that was 4.5 times greater than the standard challenge exposure dose or when calves that had been vaccinated with CPS were challenge exposed, antibody responses did not significantly (P greater than 0.05) correlate with resistance to challenge exposure. The amount of serum antibodies to CPS increased significantly (P less than 0.05) when calves were vaccinated with live or killed P haemolytica or with CPS, compared with that in calves given saline solution. In 5 of 6 experiments, correlation between high antibody responses and resistance to challenge exposure was significant (P less than 0.05). The correlation between those variables was not significant (P less than 0.07) for CPS-vaccinated calves. In the ELISA, treatment of CPS with sodium m-periodate, to oxidize periodate-sensitive carbohydrate epitopes, failed to markedly alter the antibody response to CPS.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Purified lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from 16 serotypes of Pasteurella multocida were complexed with Aspergillus fumigatus ribosomes.

Antisera made against 15 of 16 LPS reacted with their respective specific heat-stable antigens in the GDPT and homologous LPS in the passive hemagglutination test. Antisera could not be made against serotype 15 LPS. Correlation was not observed between intensity of the precipitin reaction in the GDPT and titer to homologous LPS in the passive hemagglutination test. Most antisera cross-reacted with other heat-stable antigens of other serotypes in the GDPT. Many of these cross-reactions were eliminated by dilution. Cross-reactions that occurred in the GDPT with antisera made against LPS of serotypes 2, 5, 7, and 8 could not be eliminated by dilution.

Abstract
The sensitivity of an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for bovine IgG serum antibody to Pasteurella haemolytica was compared with that of an indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test. Pasteurella haemolytica serotypes were grown in a chemically defined cell culture medium, and soluble antigens released into the growth medium were used in the ELISA and IHA test. An ELISA with serotype-1 antigen consistently detected antibody in sera that were positive by IHA test (correlation, 99%). Sera reacting with serotype-1 ELISA antigens also reacted with ELISA antigens prepared from other serotypes. Although ELISA titers averaged 5 log2 units higher than IHA titers, plots of titers determined by the 2 methods were approximately linear. Titer increases detected in paired serum samples by either test were similar. The ELISA was more sensitive than was the IHA in detecting colostral IgG antibody in serum of newborn calves. The ELISA uses a simple, stable antigen preparation and detects antibody to P haemolytica serotypes that commonly infect cattle.

Abstract
Blood agar, prepared with Trypticase (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) soy agar and 5% defibrinated bovine blood, is used for testing the potency of live Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella haemolytica vaccines, but its potential for variation makes it undesirable to use in a standard assay method. Tests done with RPMI 1640 and Trypticase soy medium indicated that the benefits obtained by adding defibrinated blood to the Trypticase soy agar medium were more likely due to neutralization of toxic components than to the presence of transferrin or iron as growth factors. Reduction of toxic components in the Trypticase soy agar medium was accomplished by replacing agar with agarose and by autoclaving glucose as a separate solution to produce the replacement medium. The replacement medium was prepared by autoclaving three separate solutions--Trypticase soy broth without glucose; glucose; and agarose--cooling to 55 degrees C, and mixing and then pouring the mixtures into petri dishes. The growth obtained with this medium as judged by determination of the number of CFU and the colony sizes of P. multocida or P. haemolytica was equal to or better than those obtained with blood agar.

Abstract
The respiratory tract of healthy chickens contain few free-residing phagocytic cells. Intratracheal inoculation with Pasteurella multocida stimulated a significant (P less than 0.05) migration of cells to the lungs and air sacs of White Rock chickens within 2 hours after inoculation. We found the maximal number of avian respiratory tract phagocytes (22.9 +/- 14.0 x 10(6] at 8 hours after inoculation. Flow cytometric analysis of these cells revealed 2 populations on the basis of cell-size and cellular granularity. One of these was similar in size and granularity to those of blood heterophils. Only this population was capable of generating oxidative metabolites in response to phorbol myristate acetate. The ability of the heterophils to produce hydrogen peroxide, measured as the oxidation of intracellularly loaded 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein, decreased with time after inoculation. These results suggest that the migration of heterophils, which are capable of high levels of oxidative metabolism, to the lungs and air sacs may be an important defense mechanism of poultry against bacterial infections of the respiratory tract.

Abstract
Hybridoma-derived monoclonal antibodies (MAB) against the cell surface antigens of Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 were obtained by the fusion of murine myeloma cells (P3 X 63 - Ag 8.653) with splenocytes of BALB/c mice immunized with crude logarithmic growth-phase culture supernatant. Initial screening was performed, using an ELISA, with the same bacterial growth culture supernatant as coating antigens. Further selection was done, using a panel of purified antigens--either capsular polysaccharide or lipopolysaccharide--as the coating antigen in an ELISA, and then performing a leukotoxin-neutralization assay. Two MAB, designated IIB-6 and H-2, reacted specifically with the capsular polysaccharide and the other 3, designated IVG-3, IH-3, and IIC-2, reacted with the lipopolysaccharide. One MAB, designated IH-6, did not react with leukotoxin, capsular polysaccharide, or lipopolysaccharide. The MAB to the capsular polysaccharide (IIB-6 and H-2) were characterized further; both antibodies belonged to the IgM class and were agglutinating. In addition, they promoted neutrophil-mediated opsonophagocytosis and complement-mediated immune bacteriolysis of P haemolytica serotype 1. Results from 3 studies indicated that the MAB IIB-6 and H-2 were specific only to the capsular polysaccharide of serotype 1 of P haemolytica. The MAB to the lipopolysaccharide (IVG-3, IH-3, and IIC-2) were of the IgG1, IgG3, and IgM classes, respectively and were not characterized further. The availability of a MAB identifying a serotype-specific, surface-exposed determinant on the capsule of P haemolytica serotype 1 should facilitate and expand studies concerning the role of the capsular material and lipopolysaccharide in the pathogenicity of P haemolytica infection in cattle.

Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay utilising direct binding of capsular polysaccharide antigens to polystyrene immunoassay plates was used to measure sheep antibodies to Pasteurella haemolytica A1, A2 and A6 serotypes. Low level cross reactivity occurred between A2 antigen and heterologous antisera. A strong unilateral cross reaction between A1 antigen and anti-A6 serum was abolished by absorption. These reactions suggest shared capsular antigens between serotypes.
