Antibodies Recognizing Yersinia enterocolitica Lipopolysaccharides of Various Chemotypes in Synovial Fluids From Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Figure 1

Detection of Yersinia LPS- and ECA- reactive antibodies in sera and synovial fluids from patients I and II. Wild (S) type, Ra, Rc and Re chemotype LPS and ECA preparations were separated in SDS-PAGE. After transfer to PVDF, the membranes were incubated with synovial fluid or corresponding patient serum. Lanes 1-YeO3-c (wild-type) LPS, 2-YeO3-c-R1 (Ra) LPS, 3-YeO3-c-Rfb-R7 (Rc) LPS, 4-YeO3-c-M205LPS (Re) LPS, and 5-S. Montevideo SH94 ECA.
