Outer membrane protein size and LPS O-antigen define protective antibody targeting to the Salmonella surface

The O-antigen of LPS is known to limit the binding of antibody to bacterial surface antigens. Here the AUs show that the chemical and physical structure of the O-antigen are central factors in limiting the exposure of surface antigens to antibodies during Salmonella infection, thus defining their pr...
