[edit] Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

[edit] Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

[edit] Source Microbe

Shigella flexneri

[edit] Basic Structure

Chemically, the O-antigen is a polysaccharide chain of variable length, built up by repetitive sequences of tetra- to hexasaccharides. It consists of a basic tetrasaccharide repeating unit consisting of three rhamnoses and one N-acetylglucosamine was common to all S. flexneri strains (except serotype 17): -2)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->2)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->

[edit] Antibodies

Mab MASF II

[edit] Antibody type and class

IgM

[edit] Assay System

ELISA, slide agglutination

[edit] Cross-reactivity

This Mab cross-reacted with serotype 2a and 2b

[edit] Proposed epitopes

N/A

[edit] Proposed Utility

This Mab can be useful for antigen detection in stool samples. Furthermore, use of the panel of monoclonal antibodies made it possible to identify two strains (Y394 and Y400) as putative members of a new provisional serotype of S. flexneri
