[edit] Source Microbe
Vibrio cholerae 01 569B
[edit] Basic Structure
The O-antigen part consists of (1-->2)-α-linked 4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-mannose (perosamine) whose amino group is acylated with 3-deoxy-L-glycero-tetronic acid. The terminal sugar in the Inaba O-antigen has a hydroxyl at the 2' position
[edit] Proposed functions
V. cholerae lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a critical component of the outer membrane that is required for virulence, is a known target for immune responses following infection or immunization. Antibodies specific for V. cholerae LPS are correlated with protection against cholera

[edit] Antibodies
Mab 110-1-5B
[edit] Antibody type and class
IgM
[edit] Assay System
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs], slide agglutination tests, enzyme immunoassays
[edit] Cross-reactivity
This Mab reacted with both Ogawa- and Inaba-type V. cholerae
[edit] Proposed epitopes
The epitope was named as Epitope A. Epitope A was postulated to be either the perosamine residues or the N-tetronic acid (N-3-deoxy-L-glycero-tetronic acid) side chain
[edit] Proposed Utility
