Antigenic relationships among the proteolytic and nonproteolytic strains of Clostridium botulinum.

Relationships of the somatic antigens among Clostridium botulinum strains have been investigated by tube agglutination and agglutinin absorption tests. Results revealed a relationship by which strains of C. botulinum are grouped by their proteolytic capacity rather than by the type of specific toxin produced. Thus, C. botulinum type E and its nontoxigenic variants, which are nonproteolytic, share common somatic antigens with the nonproteolytic strains of types B and F. Absorption of antiserum of a strain of any one type with antigen of any of the others removes the antibody to all three types. In the same manner, C. botulinum type A shares somatic antigens with the proteolytic strains of types B and F, and absorption of any one antiserum with an antigen of either of the other two types removes the antibody to all three types. Partial cross-agglutination of C. sporogenes, C. tetani, and C. histolyticum with the somatic antisera of the proteolytic group was also observed.

Acetylsalicylic acid: no chromosome damage in human leukocytes.

Acetylsalicylic acid was added to cultures of human leukocytes at several time periods over a wide range of concentrations (0.1 to 300.0 micrograms per milliliter). Leukocytes were also cultured from human volunteers during the ingestion of two 300-milligram tablets four times daily (2400 milligrams per day) over a 1-month period. No significant increase in chromosome aberrations was detected in vitro or in vivo.

Serological studies of Clostridium botulinum type E and related organisms. II. Serology of spores.

Pure spore antigens for the immunization of rabbits were prepared by enzymic digestion of vegetative components and separation of the cleaned spores in polyethylene glycol. Spore antisera were prepared to strains representative of toxigenic Clostridium botulinum type E; nontoxigenic boticin E-producing variants; nontoxigenic nonproducers of boticin E; nontoxigenic "atypical" strains, which differ somewhat from C. botulinum type E in their physiology; C. botulinum types A and B; and C. bifermentans. They were tested against these and additional strains representative of the above groups, other types of C. botulinum, and other Clostridium species. There was no evidence of agglutination of flagellar or somatic antigens of vegetative cells by these antisera. Agglutination and agglutinin absorption tests showed common antigens among toxigenic type E strains and nontoxigenic variants, both producers and nonproducers of boticin E. Some nontoxigenic "atypical" strains varied in their ability to be agglutinated by type E antisera, and others did not agglutinate at all. Of those atypical strains that were not agglutinated, one was agglutinated by C. bifermentans antiserum. Antisera prepared against C. botulinum types A and B and C. bifermentans did not agglutinate the spores of type E or its variants nor share antigens common to each other. Similarly, antisera to type E, its nontoxigenic variants, and nontoxigenic atypical strains did not agglutinate other C. botulinum types or any other Clostridium species investigated.
