Different serum requirements for opsonization of two serologically identical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract

Two strains of serotype 2 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and one species of E. coli were compared regarding their opsonic requirements using human sera and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. None of the three organisms tested activated exclusively one complement pathway. Both strains of Pseudomonas had an absolute requirement for antibody for opsonization, but differed in complement requirements. The studies described herein showed significant differences in the mechanism of opsonization of the two strains of Pseudomonas.

Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity

Antibody-dependent cellular toxicity refers to the lysis of a target cell by a non-sensitized effector cell of the immune system as a result of antibodies binding to the target cell membrane and engaging the Fc receptors on the immune effector cells.
