Lipo-oligosaccharide (LOSa) was obtained by phenol-water extraction of bacterial cells of an isolate PG 836, identified as Campylobacter jejuni serotype O:10, from a patient who subsequently developed the Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS). The product was separated into a water-insoluble gel of low Mr and a water-soluble component of high Mr. The structure of the core oligosaccharide region in LOSa is reported herein for comparison with LOSb from the C. jejuni O:10 reference strain, and is based on investigations carried out on: (1) O-deacylated LOSa; (2) the core oligosaccharide (OS 1a) liberated on acetic acid hydrolysis of the ketosidic linkages to lipid A, with accompanying loss of N-acetylneuraminic acid residues; (3) the product of the removal of phosphate residues from OS 1a to give OS 2a; and (4) the Smith degradation of OS 2a to yield a mixture of Os 3a and OS 4a. The results revealed that the core oligosaccharide region in LOSa from the MFS bacterial isolate had chains (1a), of which some were terminated by an N-acetylneuraminobiose [Neu5Ac(α 2-8)Neu5Ac] unit in a GD3 [Neu5Ac-Neu5Ac-Gal] epitope, and the inner regions of which were different from those of other C. jejuni serotypes. Similar experiments on LOSb from bacterial cells of the C. jejuni O:10 reference strain showed that the core oligosaccharide unit [1a, R = P (phosphoric monoester)] of LOSa from the MFS isolate was more uniformly complete than that of the O:10 reference strain [1b, R = AEP (2-aminoethylphosphate)] differing in the nature of the phosphate substituent at the inner heptose residue. The close structural relationship of LOSa from the MFS associated bacterium to LOSb from the O:10 reference strain runs parallel to that of the previously studied Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) associated bacterium typed as C. jejuni O:19 in comparison with the lipo-oligosaccharide from the reference strain. Preliminary studies on the high Mr components showed that those from the O:10 strains were indistinguishable from each other, but were structurally unrelated to those from the GBS associated C. jejuni serotype O:19 isolates and the O:19 reference strain [G.O. Aspinall, A.G. McDonald, and H. Pang, Biochemistry, 33 (1994) 250-255].
