Abstract
Antisera to rough enterobacterial mutants of chemotypes Ra, Rc, and Re have been reported to confer broad-spectrum protection against wild-type smooth strains. It has been hypothesized that binding and neutralization of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) by antibodies to common core epitopes underlies such protection. This review summarizes experiments by our laboratory and others that do not confirm this concept and proposes reasons for the divergent results. Studies indicating broad-spectrum protection by rough-mutant antisera often had defects in experimental design or methodology. These include the failure: (i) to use matched pre- and postimmune sera from the same donors to control for variable protective activity of normal sera; (ii) to exclude the role of natural and polyclonally stimulated antibodies with proven protective activity against the infecting bacterial strain (e.g. O-specific, capsular, Pseudomonas exotoxin A); (iii) to exclude protective effects of acute-phase serum factors; (iv) to exclude protective effects of endotoxin contamination after adsorption or fractionation of antibody preparations; (v) to use non-boiled bacteria and LPS not subjected to acid-hydrolysis or gel-fractionation, and to exclude nonspecific adsorption, to demonstrate physiologically meaningful binding of rough-mutant antibodies to smooth enterobacteria and their LPS.

Abstract
B-cells integrate antigen-specific signals transduced via the B-cell receptor (BCR) and antigen non-specific co-stimulatory signals provided by cytokines and CD40 ligation in order to produce IgG antibodies. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) also provide co-stimulation, but the requirement for TLRs to generate T-cell independent and T-cell dependent antigen specific antibody responses is debated. Little is known about the role of B-cell expressed TLRs in inducing antigen-specific antibodies to antigens that also activate TLR signaling. We found that mice lacking functional TLR4 or its adaptor molecule MyD88 harbored significantly less IgG3 natural antibodies to LPS, and required higher amounts of LPS to induce anti-LPS IgG3. In vitro, BCR and TLR4 signaling synergized, lowering the threshold for production of T-cell independent IgG3 and IL-10. Moreover, BCR and TLR4 directly associate through the transmembrane domain of TLR4. Thus, in vivo, BCR/TLR synergism could facilitate the induction of IgG3 antibodies against microbial antigens that engage both innate and adaptive B-cell receptors. Vaccines might exploit BCR/TLR synergism to rapidly induce antigen-specific antibodies before significant T-cell responses arise.

Abstract
Antibodies to various core glycolipid antigens have been shown to correlate with survival from Gram-negative sepsis. Recent preclinical data also support efficacy of the anti-core glycolipid antibodies in the treatment of sepsis. Failure of some of the previous clinical trials with anti-core glycolipid antibody was probably due to inadequate levels of antibody in those preparations. Future clinical trials must ensure that sufficient amounts of anti-core glycolipid antibodies are present in the circulation of patients with sepsis.

Abstract
We have previously described cross-reactive antilipopolysaccharide (anti-LPS), or anti-endotoxin, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) which provide cross-protection in several systems of endotoxin bioactivity. The protective effects of the murine cross-reactive MAb WN1 222-5 (immunoglobulin G2a(kappa) [IgG/2a(kappa)]) and of its chimerized version, SDZ 219-800 [human IgG1(kappa)], have now been evaluated in lethality models against LPS from three different serotypes and in bacterial infection models. We confirmed the protective activity of the two MAbs in D-galactosamine-sensitized mice challenged with LPS of other E. coli serotypes (O18, O127, and O111). The protective effect correlated with the suppression of tumor necrosis factor formation. Furthermore, WN1 222-5 enhanced bacterial clearance of intravenously administered E. coli O111 bacteria, thus protecting mice from death. However, the MAbs were unable to provide protection in a peritonitis model (intraperitoneal inoculation). Our study, therefore, shows that LPS cross-reactive antibodies are capable of mediating cross-protection against LPS and bacteria but that the selected models have a clear influence on the results.

Abstract
In order to examine the immunochemistry of the core-lipid A region of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide (LPS), monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for this region were produced in mice. Immunogen was prepared by coating a rough mutant of P. aeruginosa with column-purified core oligosaccharide fractions in order to enhance the immune response to the LPS core-lipid A region. Fourteen hybridoma clones were isolated, characterized, and further divided into three groups on the basis of their reactivities to rough LPS antigens in both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and Western immunoblots. In addition, another MAb, 18-19, designated group 1, was included in this study for defining core-lipid A epitopes. MAb 18-19 recognizes the LPS core-plus-one O-repeat unit of the serologically cross-reactive P. aeruginosa O2, O5, and O16. Group 2 MAbs are specific for the LPS outer core region and reacted with P. aeruginosa O2, O5, O7, O8, O10, O16, O18, O19, and O20, suggesting that these serotypes share a common outer core type. Group 3 MAbs recognize the inner core region and reacted with all 20 P. aeruginosa serotypes as well as with other Pseudomonas species, revealing the conserved nature of this region. Group 4 MAbs are specific for lipid A and reacted with all gram-negative organisms tested. Immunoassays using these MAbs and well-defined rough mutants, in addition to the recently determined P. aeruginosa core structures, have allowed us to precisely define immunodominant epitopes within the LPS core region.

Abstract
The lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli J-5 was sequentially de-O-acylated, dephosphorylated, reduced, de-N-acylated, and N-acetylated. The products were separated by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography into a nonasaccharide (1), two octasaccharides (2, 3), and a heptasaccharide (4). Compositional analysis, methylation analysis, and NMR spectroscopy revealed the structures of the products as: alpha-D-GlcpNAc-(1-7)-L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-7)-[alpha-D-Glcp-(1-3)-]-L -alpha-D- Hepp-(1-3)-R1, (1) L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-7)-[alpha-D-Glcp-(1-3)-]-L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1 -3)-R1, (2) alpha-D-GlcpNAc-(1-7)-L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-7)-[alpha-D-Glcp-(1-3)-]-L -alpha-D- Hepp-(1-3)-R2, (3) alpha-D-Glcp-(1-3)-L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-3)-R1, (4) in which 1R is L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-5)-[alpha-Kdop-(2-4)-]-alpha-Kdop-(2 -6)- beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1-6)-D-GlcN-Acol, and 2R is L-alpha-D-Hepp-(1-5)-alpha-Kdop-(2-6)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1-6 )-D- GlcNAcol (LD-Hep, L-glycero-D-manno-heptose; Kdo, 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulopyranosonic acid; GlcNAcol, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-glucitol). Fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry of de-O-acylated and dephosphorylated lipopolysaccharide showed that the isolated oligosaccharides represented the complete carbohydrate moiety of the lipopolysaccharide, and indicated that the non-reducing terminal D-GlcN residue in lipopolysaccharide was present as the free base.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The in vivo neutralizing activities of an anti-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antibody HA-1A (Centoxin [Centocor, Malvern, PA]), a human immunoglobulin M monoclonal antibody, and of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI), an endogenously produced human LPS-neutralizing protein, were studied in a primate model of lethal Escherichia coli bacteremia. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA HA-1A has been used with variable success against LPS activity in some animal models and in a recently reported clinical trial. However, no data assessing the efficacy of this agent in subhuman primates is available. Bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein is a product of polymorphomononuclear cells (PMNs) that is stored in azurophilic granules and exhibits LPS-neutralizing activity in vitro and in some in vivo models. METHODS Immediately after E. coli infusion and in a blinded fashion, three baboons were treated with BPI (5 mg/kg bolus infusion and 95 micrograms/kg/min infusion over 4 hr). Three animals received 3 mg/kg BW of HA-1A, whereas another three baboons received a placebo treatment. RESULTS The BPI-treated animals demonstrated significantly (p < 0.03) lower circulating LPS-limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) activity compared with the control animals, but this reduction in LPS-LAL activity was not associated with improved survival. HA-1A treatment did not reduce LPS-LAL activity. However, both BPI and HA-1A treatment did attenuate the pro-inflammatory cytokine response. CONCLUSION The current data suggests that incomplete neutralization of endotoxin activity does not alter mortality from severe bacteremia. Given the diversity of mediator production under such circumstances, a strategy of combination therapy in the form of anti-lipopolysaccharide and anticytokine treatment may be necessary to achieve optimal survival.

Abstract
A method is described in these investigations for the semi-synthetic production of polymyxin-B conjugated ovalbumin in the form of polymyxin-B.Sulfo-SMCC.ovalbumin (PSO). The heterobifunctional "cross-linking" agent, Sulfo-SMCC was first reacted with polymyxin-B to produce a relatively pure reactive intermediate in the form of polymyxin-B.Sulfo-SMCC. Highly purified ovalbumin was then combined with the polymyxin-B.Sulfo-SMCC reactive intermediate and contaminants removed from the final PSO end product by exhaustive microdialysis. Purity of PSO was established with by high-performance cellulose acetate electrophoresis (HPCAE), and high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) analyses. Verification of polymyxin-B.Sulfo-SMCC.ovalbumin binding avidity for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was determined by DotBLot analysis applying fluorescein isothiocyanate labeled E. coli (055:B5) LPS fractions (FITC-LPS). Efficacy of PSO to inhibit in vitro LPS-induced synthesis of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was assessed with a tissue culture based biological assay system. In this context, semi-synthetic conjugates of PSO (0.349 microgram/ml) effectively inhibited Salmonella minnesota (RS) LPS (2.5 ng/ml well) induced TNF-alpha synthesis and corresponding cytoprotection (100%) to WEHI 164 clone 13 cell populations.

Abstract
The influence of the acylation pattern of lipid A on the reactivity of murine monoclonal antibodies (mAb) was tested in different assay systems with synthetic lipid A antigens. Both the number and type of fatty acids had an impact on the antigen amounts needed for optimal sensitization of sheep red blood cells, on the inhibition capacity of compounds and on the reactive antigen amounts in enzyme immunoassay and dot blot assay. Results obtained with two pentaacyl isomers indicated that the location of fatty acids is of no importance. Although all mAbs used recognized epitopes residing in the hydrophilic backbone of lipid A, their reactivities were greatly influenced by the number as well as the type of acyl chains present. In the various assays, the mAbs reacted either similarly or discrepantly suggesting that epitopes are exposed differently in the test systems. We conclude that for the determination of the reactivity of lipid A mAbs it is useful and sometimes necessary to run various assays in parallel and to compare mAbs on the basis of reaction patterns.

Abstract
During the last decade, episodes of sepsis have increased and Escherichia coli has remained the most frequent clinical isolate. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS; endotoxin) are the major toxic and antigenic components of gram-negative bacteria and qualify as targets for therapeutic interventions. Molecules that neutralize the toxic effects of LPS are actively investigated. In this paper, we describe a murine monoclonal antibody (MAb; WN1 222-5), broadly cross-reactive and cross-protective for smooth (S)-form and rough (R)-form LPS. As shown in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the passive hemolysis assay, WN1 222-5 binds to the five known E. coli core chemotypes, to Salmonella core, and to S-form LPS having these core structures. In immunoblots, it is shown to react with both the nonsubstituted core LPS and with LPS carrying O-side chains, indicating the exposure of the epitope in both S-form and R-form LPS. This MAb of the immunoglobulin G2a class is not lipid A reactive but binds to E. coli J5, an RcP+ mutant which carries an inner core structure common to many members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Phosphate groups present in the inner core contribute to the epitope but are not essential for the binding of WN1 222-5 to complete core LPS. Cross-reactivity for clinical bacterial isolates is broad. WN1 222-5 binds to all E. coli clinical isolates tested so far (79 blood isolates, 80 urinary isolates, and 21 fecal isolates) and to some Citrobacter, Enterobacter, and Klebsiella isolates. This pattern of reactivity indicates that its binding epitope is widespread among members of the Enterobacteriaceae. WN1 222-5 exhibits biologically relevant activities. In vitro, it inhibits the Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay activity of S-form and R-form LPS in a dose-dependent manner and it neutralizes the LPS-induced release of clinically relevant monokines (interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor). In vivo, WN1 222-5 blocks endotoxin-induced pyrogenicity in rabbits and lethality in galactosamine-sensitized mice. The discovery of WN1 222-5 settles the long-lasting controversy over the existence of anti-core LPS MAbs with both cross-reactive and cross-protective activity, opening new possibilities for the immunotherapy of sepsis caused by gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
We characterized 4 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific for rough lipopolysaccharide (R-LPS) of Brucella. mAb were selected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on whole B. abortus 45/20 rough cells and R-LPS from B. melitensis B115 rough cells. Specificity was confirmed by immunoblot analysis using R-LPS and smooth LPS (S-LPS) preparations. Anti-R-LPS revealed the low molecular mass R-LPS molecules below 20.1 kDa in the R-LPS and S-LPS preparations as well as the typical A and M patterns in high molecular mass S-LPS molecules (between 21.5 and 66 kDa) in the S-LPS preparations. An O-polysaccharide-specific mAb revealed only high molecular mass S-LPS molecules in the S-LPS preparation. In ELISA the anti-R-LPS mAb bound better on rough than on smooth B. abortus 544 whole cells, and this was confirmed by immunoelectron microscopy. Protective activity of anti-R-LPS mAb of different isotypes was tested on mice and compared with an S-LPS-specific mAb. Only the IgG3 mAb reduced significantly the splenic infection but did not reach the level of protection conferred by the S-LPS-specific mAb.

Abstract
The cross-reactive capacity of monoclonal and polyclonal lipid A antibodies was tested with rough and smooth lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The antibodies represented different specificities recognizing epitopes in the hydrophilic lipid A backbone. In none of the various assay systems applied did the antibodies react with complete rough or smooth-form LPS. Cross-reactions, in general, were only detected with the most rudimentary rough LPS tested, i.e. Re-LPS. A variety of reactivities with other LPS was shown not to be related to lipid A antibodies; such reactivities were present in rabbit sera as well as in crude ascites. These results underline the need for careful checks on the origin of reactivities observed. In addition, rabbit antisera raised with R- and S-LPS were screened for lipid A reactivity using synthetic lipid A and partial structures as antigens. No cross-reactivity of LPS antibodies with lipid A was detected in these sera.

Abstract
Neutralization of endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS) would be of considerable benefit in the treatment of Gram-negative sepsis. Administration of anti-LPS antibodies is an old approach which has been renewed by improvements in monoclonal antibody technology. The antibodies directed at the conserved core region of LPS or at the lipid A which have been studied in humans are discussed in this review. Some of these antibodies appeared to be protective in animal models or in clinical trials, but discrepant results have been reported and the mechanism of the postulated protection was not clarified. The polyclonal antibody preparations have given variable results in patients. The clinical studies of anti-lipid A monoclonal antibodies seemed promising because both antibodies appeared to protect subsets of patients. However, the studies gave discrepant results concerning the type of patients reported to benefit from the administration of these antibodies. One of these antibodies, E5, appeared to improve the survival of patients with Gram-negative sepsis provided they were not in shock, but a second trial failed to confirm this. The other antibody, HA-1A, appeared to protect patients with Gram-negative sepsis who were in refractory shock, but only when they were bacteremic. This antibody was recently released on the market in some european countries. However, the FDA agency decided that a confirmatory study should be done before it could consider to approve HA-1A because a careful reanalysis suggested that the observed differences were only of marginal statistical significance. Therefore, this type of treatment has not yet clearly been shown to benefit patients. More studies are needed to delineate the role of core LPS antibodies in the management of Gram-negative sepsis.

Abstract
Elevated systemic levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) have been directly correlated with increased mortality during experimental gram-negative bacterial sepsis. Although monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin, LPS) decrease TNF production in vitro and enhance survival in vivo, the precise relationship between inhibition of TNF secretion and protective capacity has not been defined. We hypothesized that protective anti-LPS mAbs inhibited LPS-stimulated TNF production. To test this hypothesis, we first produced and characterized three anti-LPS mAbs. We then examined the ability of these mAbs to decrease TNF secretion in an in vitro assay using cells from the murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. Subsequently, we assessed the protective capacities of these anti-LPS mAbs in a murine mucin peritonitis model of sepsis using live Escherichia coli 0111:B4 bacterial challenge. Our results demonstrated that those anti-LPS mAbs that decreased LPS-stimulated TNF secretion in vitro were protective in vivo. We concluded that inhibition of TNF secretion in vitro reflected protective capacity and that anti-LPS mAbs may confer protection via abrogation of macrophage TNF secretion. Inhibition of TNF production in vitro may provide a valuable test that may facilitate the selection of protective anti-LPS mAbs.

Abstract
Treatment of endotoxemia is difficult because of the numerous mediators involved in the body's response to endotoxin. There are three possible approaches in treating endotoxemia. The interaction of endotoxin with target cells can be blocked by inducing tolerance, decreasing plasma endotoxin concentrations, or interfering with endotoxin binding. Once endotoxin has interacted with target cells, endogenous mediators can be blocked with a huge variety of drugs. The effects of corticosteroids, cyclooxygenase blockers, leukotriene blockers, platelet activating factor blockers, tumor necrosis factor blockers, oxygen radical scavengers, opiate antagonists, antihistamines, calcium channel blockers are detailed. Supportive care of the endotoxemic patient continues to be a critical aspect of treatment. Controversies regarding solutions to use for volume support, vasoactive and cardiostimulant drugs, metabolic support, and treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation are reviewed.

Abstract
The role of anti-endotoxin antibodies in the management of gram-negative bacteremia and the experimental and clinical studies on the cross-protection afforded by core LPS antibodies are reviewed. These studies did not achieve clarification of the epitope(s) and effector mechanism(s) involved in protection. Recently, two anti-lipid A IgM monoclonal antibodies, designated E5 and HA-1A, have been investigated in patients with gram-negative bacterial infections and clinical manifestations of septicemia. E5 reduced the mortality of patients if they were not in shock, whether they were bacteremic or not. A confirmatory study has been initiated. In contrast to E5, HA-1A protected patients whether they were in shock or not, but only when they were bacteremic at randomization. Although these studies suggest beneficial effects, the type of patients who may benefit from this expensive therapy should be further defined. Further investigations are needed to clarify the mechanisms of protection of these antibodies.

Abstract
Studies with rough mutants of certain Gram-negative bacteria have indicated that monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to endotoxin core can protect animals and man from endotoxic shock. We assessed the ability of such antibodies to neutralise endotoxin in the Limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) assay, and compared this to their protective effect in a murine model of endotoxic shock. We evaluated 11 mAbs raised against Salmonella minnesota R595. Endotoxin neutralisation in the LAL assay, expressed as 50% inhibition titres, ranged between 1/32 and 1/414. However, there was no apparent relationship between the titre required to produce 50% inhibition of LAL and its ability to protect mice from endotoxic shock. We conclude that LAL neutralisation appears unrelated to biological activity; in this system, LAL inhibition by mAb ascites cannot be used to predict protection in vivo.

Abstract
Bacteremia from gram-negative rods is a great cause of concern for hospital physicians today. Shock-complicating gram-negative sepsis has a mortality rate of 60% and above, despite early diagnosis and treatment. Intensive research efforts have shown new pathophysiological mechanisms and mediators involved in septic shock, with changes in recommended treatment protocols. In this report, the authors review the use of corticosteroids, fibronectin, naloxone hydrochloride, and immunotherapy, with emphasis on theoretical considerations and relevant clinical experience. Although these treatment methods may have been promising initially, data from large double-blind human trials are either lacking or unencouraging. While continued research and modern therapeutic approaches should improve future survival rates from septic shock, use of the therapies reviewed should be considered experimental at this time.

Abstract
Five anti-core glycolipid monoclonal antibodies (MAb) (four against Escherichia coli J5 lipopolysaccharide [LPS] and one against the Re core glycolipid of Salmonella typhimurium) were characterized using LPS from several rough and smooth strains and derivatives of E. coli J5 LPS, obtained by N acetylation and hydrolysis. The MAb against E. coli J5 were not only weakly cross-reactive with clinical isolates, whereas the anti-Re MAb was highly cross-reactive. The MAb differed in their reaction pattern with E. coli J5 LPS. MAb 4-7B5 (immunoglobulin M) and MAb 4-6A1 (immunoglobulin G1) cross-reacted with LPS of Salmonella minnesota R5 and S. typhimurium Ra and Rc and little with Re and lipid A. The dominant binding site of these MAb was located in the glucose-heptose-heptose region and was independent of phosphate substitution. The MAb 4-9A1 reacted with the terminal part of the core region (glucose-heptose) and was dependent on phosphate substitution of the LPS. The MAb BA7 (immunoglobulin G3) was E. coli J5 LPS specific and reacted with the glucosaminyl-heptose disaccharide. Antibody 8-2C1 was directed against the common parts of LPS, 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid, and lipid A, which are not (or only weakly) recognized by the four anti-J5 LPS MAb. Thus, MAb that are not cross-reactive can be directed against at least three different antigenic determinants present on the core oligosaccharide of E. coli J5 LPS.

Abstract
Six monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to the lipid A region of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), obtained from mice immunized with lipid A-coated Bordetella pertussis cells (mAb 3.E8, 2.21, 2.37, 2.41) or with lipid A covalently coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (mAb R1 and R7), were examined for their potential to inhibit in vitro activities of LPS on macrophages. mAb R7 was inactive in vitro, but the five other mAb inhibited efficiently some in vitro activities of LPS. mAb R1, 2.21 and 3.E8 reduced the LPS-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin 1 (IL 1) by macrophages, but did not modify the binding of LPS to macrophages. On the other hand, mAb 2.37 and 2.41 reduced LPS binding to macrophages and subsequent IL1 secretion, but did not modify TNF production. This is in agreement with our previous finding that IL1 and TNF productions can be selectively triggered by synthetic analogs of lipid A substructures (Lasfargues and Chaby, Cell. Immunol. 1988. 115: 165). The pattern of in vitro inhibition of LPS activities (LPS binding to macrophages and production of TNF and membrane IL 1) by polymyxin B was different from those of the two groups of anti-lipid A mAb mentioned above. These observations suggest the presence on lipid A of four functionally distinct substructures.

Abstract
Murine monoclonal antibodies reacting with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Salmonella minnesota strain R595 (Re chemotype) were prepared, and tested for their ability to protect actinomycin D-sensitized mice against lethal endotoxemia. Protection was found with some antibodies up to a 90-fold increase in LD50, whereas others exhibited no protection. The various protective antibodies did not all bind to the same epitope. The same applied for non-protective clones. Protective and non-protective clones could not be discriminated by ELISA. One protective monoclonal antibody (clone 20) was specific for ketodeoxyoctonate, a structural element common to various LPS. These findings show that the involvement of lipid A in the binding site of monoclonal antibodies is no prerequisite for protection.

Abstract
A method was devised to produce antibodies to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in guinea-pigs following a single immunization. The antigen was prepared by mixing polymyxin B-agarose with LPS from Escherichia coli O55:B5. Use of the agarose support allowed purification of the complex by simple washing procedures. Twenty-nine days after a single injection of the immunogen mixed with Freund complete adjuvant all animals demonstrated antibody to the LPS portion of the complex. No antibodies were detected to the polymyxin B component. Typical titres of LPS as measured by ELISA were 2(11). After, a booster immunization, titres of LPS antibody were further increased and a greater avidity was noted. In contrast to other methods which have been employed for production of antibody to LPS, use of the polymyxin B-agarose complex has the following advantages: ease of antigen preparation, ready purification of the complex, potent immunostimulation, and under the conditions employed here, LPS-specific antibody production, without accompanying antibody to polymyxin B.

Abstract
Administration in vivo of recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL-2) to mice induces a polyclonal IgM response. When co-administered with a specific antigen, rIL-2 can enhance concentrations of murine IgM antibodies specific for the antigen by fivefold within 7 d of initial treatment. IgM antibodies that are induced after injection of rIL-2 include antibodies specific for J5, a cell wall core lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigen that is shared by the different members of the Enterobactericeae family. We report here that mice pretreated with rIL-2 or immunized with J5 antigen 7 d before bacterial challenge were protected from septic death that is caused by intraperitoneal challenges with Escherichia coli. Optimal protection was provided by a combined J5 antigen and rIL-2 treatment. Acquisition of the rIL-2 and J5 antigen-induced protection against lethal bacterial infection coincided temporally with maximal serum IgM titers that also contained IgM antibodies specific for the J5 antigen. In passive immunization experiments, the affinity-purified IgM fraction in sera of rIL-2-treated animals was identified as necessary and sufficient for protection. The IgM-depleted serum had no protective effect. The nonspecific augmentation of host-defense mechanisms without the induction of endotoxin manifestations makes rIL-2 a potential candidate to any alternative LPS-containing vaccines for the prevention of bacterial infections by gram-negative organisms since the core LPS antigen is shared among gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-transformed human B lymphocytes were fused with a murine-human heteromyeloma to produce stable hybrid cell lines that secreted human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) of the IgM class that recognized conserved epitopes in the core-lipid A region of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Three of the mAbs reacted with epitopes on the lipid A moiety, while a fourth recognized a determinant in the core oligosaccharide. The lipid A-specific mAbs cross-reacted with heterologous rough LPS and with lipid As released by acid hydrolysis of different intact (smooth) LPS. Carbohydrate groups in the O-side chain and core oligosaccharide of isolated, smooth LPS restricted antibody access to antigenic sites on lipid A. Yet, one lipid A-reactive mAb recognized its epitope on the surfaces of a variety of intact bacteria. These findings confirm the presence of highly conserved epitopes in the core-lipid A complex and prove the existence of human B cell clones with the potential for secreting high avidity IgM antibodies that react with these widely shared determinants. Such human mAbs might provide protective activity against disease caused by diverse gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
Rabbit antiserum raised against the rough mutant of Escherichia coli O111:B4, designated J5, was examined for cross-reactivity to an E. coli clinical isolate (A2385). In whole-cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, J5 antiserum reacted to a greater extent with A2385 grown for 5 h than with the same bacteria grown for 19 h, while the homologous antiserum reacted similarly with bacteria grown for different lengths of time. J5 antiserum reacted to the greatest extent with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from A2385 grown for up to 10 h, and reactivity greatly diminished thereafter; homologous antiserum showed no difference in reaction over time. LPS from smooth bacteria grown for 19 h showed no reaction with J5 antiserum in immunoblots, while LPS from A2385 grown for 5 or 10 h showed a positive reaction. Little or no difference among the three LPS samples could be seen when homologous antiserum was used. Mice vaccinated with J5 LPS before lethal challenge with live A2385 were protected from this challenge, whereas most nonimmunized mice died. Toxicity tests in mice showed LPS from A2385 grown for 19 h to be twice as lethal as LPS from A2385 grown for 3 h. Mice vaccinated with J5 LPS were protected to a greater extent when challenged with a lethal dose of LPS from A2385 grown for 3 h than when challenged with LPS from A2385 grown for 19 h. The results reported here may explain the means by which J5 vaccination (active or passive) sometimes protects against heterologous challenge.

Abstract
Somatic cell hybrids secreting monoclonal antibodies against the core-glycolipid portion of enterobacterial endotoxin were derived from mice immunized with Escherichia coli J5 or Salmonella minnesota R595 heat-killed organisms or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Eight antibodies were selected for their ability to cross-react with several members of a panel of gram-negative bacterial antigens in a radioimmunoassay. This panel represented five genera and two families of organisms: E. coli O111:B4, E. coli O55:B5, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella minnesota, and Serratia marcescens. The binding sites for six of the antibodies were unequivocally localized within the lipid A moiety of the endotoxin molecule by using the radioimmunoassay on LPS and free lipid A. The anti-lipid A antibodies were further characterized for their ability to interact with LPS variants by using a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunostaining procedure. The monoclonal antibodies bound almost exclusively to the low-molecular-weight species of LPS on the polyacrylamide gel. These components corresponded to LPS isolated from rough strains of organisms (strains which lack O-specific carbohydrate). These results suggested that the cross-reactive component of antisera raised against rough mutants of gram-negative bacteria contain antibodies of lipid A specificity. Moreover, the determinant within the lipid A moiety of LPS may have been accessible to the monoclonal antibodies only in those endotoxin molecules on the outer membrane surface which lack the O-specific carbohydrate.

Abstract
Mouse monoclonal antibodies were raised against heat-killed bacteria of the Re mutant R595 of Salmonella minnesota and characterized by the passive hemolysis and passive hemolysis inhibition tests and by double immunodiffusion experiments using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from different rough mutants of S. minnesota and synthetic antigens. The latter were copolymerization products of acrylamide with the alpha- and beta-allylglycosides of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (KDO) and the alpha-2,4-linked KDO disaccharide [poly-alpha-KDO, poly-beta-KDO, and poly-(alpha-KDO)2, respectively], and sodium (3-deoxy-D-manno-octulopyranosyl)onate-(2----6)-(2-deoxy-2-[ (R)-3- hydroxytetradecanoylamino]- beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1----6)-(2-deoxy-2-[(R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoy lam ino]-D-glucose) [alpha-KDO-(GlcNhm)2], representing a part structure of Re LPS. One antibody (clone 20, immunoglobulin M) was found to recognize a terminal alpha-linked KDO residue, since it reacted in the passive hemolysis assay with alpha-KDO-(GlcNhm)2 and all LPS tested, it was inhibited by all synthetic antigens containing alpha-linked KDO residues, and it gave a reaction of identity with poly-alpha-KDO and poly-(alpha-KDO)2 in double immunodiffusion experiments. A second antibody (clone 25, immunoglobulin G3) was identified as specific for an alpha-2,4-linked KDO disaccharide, since it reacted in immunodiffusion exclusively with synthetic poly-(alpha-KDO)2 and not with the monosaccharide derivatives in either anomeric configuration, and it was inhibited only with poly-(alpha-KDO)2 and with LPS from S. minnesota R595 (Re) and R345 (Rb2). The reaction of this antibody with R345 LPS is attributed to the quantitative substitution with KDO disaccharide present as a side chain, which is not present in stoichiometric amounts in the other LPS.

Abstract
This chapter discusses the current and future applications of monoclonal antibodies against bacteria in veterinary medicine. It discusses the existing applications of monoclonal antibodies, including the use of pilus-specific monoclonal antibodies for passive immunization of calves and piglets against enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infections as well as the development of rapid diagnostic test kits for field diagnosis of EPEC infections. The potential applications of monoclonal antibodies for passive immunization against a variety of veterinary pathogens are passive immunization against Moraxella bovis (pinkeye), Bacteroides nodosus (foot rot), EPEC enterotoxin (enteric colibacillosis), Pasteurella haemolytica (pneumonic pasteurellosis), and Streptococcus equi (strangles). Three main areas of application for monoclonal antibodies against bacterial antigens in veterinary medicine are passive immunization, improved immunodiagnostics, and immunotherapy. Monoclonal antibodies, because of their specificity, unlimited availability, and high titer, represent excellent passive immunizing agents. However, their potential usefulness in preventing infection must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
