Abstract

OBJECTIVE:To preliminarily analyse the subunits and molecular weight of fimbriae of actinomyces viscosus 5951.METHODS:To do the immunoblotting test of the only II fimbriae type of mutant strain of T14V.RESULTS:It showed that there was only one 31ku band,which indicated that the fimbriae of actinomyces viscosus 5951 was composed of the same subunits of 31ku molecular weight. CONCLUSION:According to the previous reports and results of present study,the molecular weight of fimbriae of actinomyces viscosus 5951 was speculated to be 124ku and the fimbriae was composed of 4 same subunits.
