Compositions for therapeutic or diagnostic use in connection with bacterial infections containing as an active constituent the structural element, preferably in terminal position:
A process for the therapeutic treatment of mammals including man, comprising administering to the mammal an active amount of such a composition. A process for identification or quantification of such structural element in native biological ma'arial from mammals including man, comprising using antibodies, the generation of which has been initiated by such composition. A process for the identification of bacterial acceptor structures (pili, syn. fimbriae) recognizing the described structural element, comprising using this recognition. A process for purifying acceptor structures of bacteria, comprising using for the purification the affinity between such structural element and the corresponding acceptor structures on the bacteria. A method of diagnosing mammals including man in regard to proneness to bacterial infection involving such receptor structure, comprising generating anti- bodies against said receptor structure and recording the reaction of said antibodies and cells from the mammal.
