RESUMO
The immunoglobulin G from a monospecific rabbit antiserum to the 110-kDa RTX hemolysin of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 was used to determine that the related RTX proteins in isolates from serotypes 2 to 12 were also responsible for the hemolytic, CAMP, and neutrophil-cytotoxic activities produced by this bacterium. These proteins share common neutralizing epitopes.
