[edit] Carbohydrate Name

O-polysaccharide

[edit] Carbohydrate Class

O-polysaccharide [LPS]

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Serotype O9

[edit] Basic Structure

The LPS consists of three regions, namely O-polysaccharide, core oligosaccharide and lipid A. The O-antigens consist of a trisaccharide repeating unit which consists of two uronic acid derivatives and one N-acetyl fucosamine residue

[edit] Proposed functions

N/A

[edit] Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Formalin killed whole cells

[edit] Carrier Name

nil

[edit] Conjugation Method

nil

[edit] Antibodies

Mab MF43-2

[edit] Antibody type and class

IgM

[edit] Assay System

ELISA, immunoblotting and Double immunodiffusion

[edit] Cross-reactivity
