Fig. 5

Electron micrograph of lipopolysaccharide extracted from pathogenic and intermediate pathogenic Leptospira strains. LPS were spotted on a carbon-coated mesh, air-dried, negatively stained with 2 % uranyl acetate and examined under a transmission electron microscope. The pictures show the different LPS structures of intermediately pathogenic (L. licerasiae serovar Varillal strain VAR010, top figure a scale bar 0.5 μM.) and pathogenic (L interogans serovar Copenhageni strain Fiocruz L-130, bottom figure b scale bar 0.2) strains, respectively
