Resumen:
This chapter presents a conjugation method for coupling probes bearing
hydrazine or primary amino groups to a lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS is
modified by activation of the hydroxyl groups present in its O-antigen moiety
with 1-cyano-4-dimethylaminopyridinium tetrafluoroborate (CDAP). The method
yields conjugates with good labeling ratios, preserving the endotoxic activity of
the lipid A moiety. Conjugation of smooth-form LPS from Salmonella entericaSalmonella enterica
sv. Minnesota with dansyl hydrazine and horseradish peroxidase yields labeling
ratios above 110 nmoles dansyl per mg LPS, with nearly no loss of the original
endotoxic activity. In the case of horseradish peroxidase, introducing a spacer,
a ratio of 28 nmoles HRP per mg LPS were obtained, preserving 65% of the
original endotoxic activity and an enzymatic activity of 120 units/mg.
