From DrugPedia: A Wikipedia for Drug discovery
[edit] Carbohydrate Name
Lipopolysaccharide
[edit] Carbohydrate Class
Lipopolysaccharide
[edit] Source Microbe
Helicobacter pylori
[edit] Basic Structure
The structure of the O-polysaccharide part of the LPS is the same as the Lewis X (Lex) and Lewis Y (Ley) determinants of the human cell surface glycoconjugates
[edit] Proposed functions
The O-polysaccharide regions of these LPS were found to be a major antigenic determinant
